Pre-orders for these and all other versions of the game will go live in July 7.
The press release sharing this information points out that this is the fourth time Michael Jordan will be on the cover of an NBA 2K game, having been on the cover for NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12, and the NBA 2K16 Special Edition. The cover athlete for the standard and deluxe editions of the game won’t be Michael Jordan and will be revealed when pre-orders go live.
Michael Jordan’s accomplishments include being a “14-time NBA All-Star, five-time Kia NBA Most Valuable Player, six-time NBA World Champion and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer.”
