Following the reveal of NBA 2K24 yesterday, where it was announced that Kobe Bryant will be the cover star of the basketball title, 2K and developer Visual Concepts has now shared a ton of extra information about the sports sequel.

In terms of new gameplay features, we're told that NBA 2K24 will introduce ProPlay, which translates real NBA footage into gameplay, in an effort to make animations and movements feel all the more real and accurate. To add to this will be Mamba Moments, with this providing a way to relieve some of Kobe's best moments. 2K will share further information about the two new features later in the summer.
Lastly, there will be a limited version of NBA 2K24 that features a WNBA star as a cover athlete. This will only be sold in the US and Canada as a GameStop exclusive, but will feature New York Liberty guard, Sabrina Ionescu, as the cover star.
