It’s always a surefire bet that the latest installment of the NBA 2K series will be releasing every fall, but it’s still nice to know when. The release date for NBA 2K18 has been announced along with a look at the Legend Edition and the Legend Edition Gold.
This year, the three editions will be returning: Standard, Legend and Legend Edition Gold. Pre-order customers will be able to receive four day early access to any of the editions in addition to some extra digital goodies. 2K breaks it all down for the players in the below image:
The Legend Edition and Legend Edition Gold will both feature Shaquille O’Neal on the cover while the cover star of the Standard Edition is still a mystery. The two editions have different shots of the athlete doing his signature two-handed dunk and, of course, the Legend Edition Gold comes decked out in shiny gold coloring. According to a press release, the Legend Edition Gold physical edition will only be sold at GameStop for those in North America and will only be available digitally in Europe.
