September 7th 2018 (20th Anniversary Edition)

NBA 2K19 is an upcoming NBA basketball simulation video game by 2K Sports. It will be the twentieth installment of the NBA 2K series, scheduled for release September 11th, 2018 (September 7th for customers who pre-order the 20th Anniversary Edition) for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch. The cover player for the standard edition is yet to be announced, while LeBron James will appear on the 20th Anniversary Edition cover. It will be the direct sequel to NBA 2K18, and is expected to be followed by NBA 2K20.

Development & Features

NBA 2K19 will be a sim-oriented basketball video game, likely retaining modes such as MyCAREER, MyGM, MyLEAGUE, MyTEAM, The Playground, The Neighborhood, and 2K Pro-Am, as well as gameplay elements such as the Pro Stick. The current gen version of the game is built on the Eco-Motion engine, which made its debut in the PlayStation 4/Xbox One version of NBA 2K14. It is also expected to retain additional content such as the historical squads and All-Time Teams.

Editions & Cover Players

On June 5th 2018, LeBron James was revealed as the cover player for the 20th Anniversary Edition of NBA 2K19. The anniversary cover art is a departure from the usual style for NBA 2K, and notably features LeBron wearing a generic black jersey. As of March 2024, the cover player for the standard edition of the game has yet to be announced. The 20th Anniversary Edition of NBA 2K19 will retail for $99.99 USD, while the standard edition will cost $59.99 USD.
