2K shared preliminary details about NBA 2K23, confirming that the game is heading to Switch in September and Michael Jordan will appear on both covers of the Michael Jordan Edition and the ultra-premium Championship Edition.
NBA 2K23 is also reintroducing The Jordan Challenge, “which encourages players to recreate 15 iconic moments from Jordan’s illustrious career.” According to 2K, all ten of the original challenges from NBA 2K11 have been rebuilt from the ground up, and players can look forward to five new iconic Jordan moments. These challenges “provide a completely new way to play through Jordan’s accomplishments – all housed within its own game mode.”
The Jordan Challenge covers top performances across Jordan’s college, NBA, and Team USA Basketball careers that players can experience across all 15 challenges. Even included are unique video vignettes that come with special commentary from an array of NBA luminaries – specifically Jordan’s teammates, opponents, and other sports personalities, who saw him do it live and can bring to life his legacy to a younger generation of NBA fans. Further information about The Jordan Challenge in NBA 2K23 will be provided later in the summer.
Michael Jordan is one of the most famous athletes in the NBA and NBA 2K history. The NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition and NBA 2K23 Championship Edition mark the fourth time he’s headlining an NBA 2K cover. Previously, Jordan starred on the covers for NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12, and the NBA 2K16 Special Edition.
NBA 2K23 launches for Switch on September 9, 2022. More cover athlete reveals are happening over the next two days and pre-orders begin on July 7.
