'NBA 2K20' Release Date Leaked: See When Game May Be Dropped

nba 2k19 — With the success of its "NBA 2K" video game franchise as a backdrop, the game publisher is ponying up big. NBA 2K

2K Games has yet to announce any details about the next entry to their “NBA 2K” series. However, a leak has shown that “NBA 2K20” may be coming in late 2019. Here’s what we know about the upcoming NBA video game.

A cardboard cutout of “NBA 2K20” was recently found to contain the game’s release date, according to B/R Gaming’s Twitter. Apparently, the game’s release will be Sept. 6. The game would be released for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Like previous “NBA 2K” entries, the cover shows a known basketball player. For this entry, Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade is the basketball player chosen for the cover of this game. In the current “NBA 2K19” entry, Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected for the promo photo.

Antetokounmpo’s efforts in past few years earned him the Most Improved Player award in 2017, and he has also had three All-Star selections. Wade, meanwhile, announced his retirement earlier this year.

On 2K Games’ end, the company has yet to announce any official information about “NBA 2K20.” Official details such as the release date, game engine improvements, gameplay changes, and major content have yet to be revealed.

However, E3 2019 is happening this June and 2K is one of its exhibitors. The latest information about the next “NBA 2K” entry is likely to appear during this event. EA, developers of other annual sports video games such as "FIFA" and "Madden," will talk about its 2020 entries during the show too.

It’s possible that 2K Games will talk about their own NBA game as EA also handles a similar game series called "NBA Live." However, "NBA Live" has yet to appear on a slot during the EA Play livestream. Both 2K and EA have shown no official announcements of their annual basketball video game entries as of late.
