This morning it was announced that along side the new NBA 2K21 cover athletes Portland Trailblazers guard Damian Lillard, cover athlete for the current generation consoles, and New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson as the cover athlete for the next generation (pictured below), Kobe Bean Bryant will also grace the video game cover.
Kobe Was most recently on the cover of NBA 2K17 Legend Edition. He will have a cover for the Mamba Forever Edition of the game for both current and next gen consoles. The Mamba Forever Edition will cost $99.99 on both current and next generation consoles, essentially replacing the usual Legend Edition version of the game. There is a nice catch with this one, though. If you pre-order the Mamba Forever Edition on a next generation console, you’ll get a code for the standard edition on current generations. It works the same way if you pre-order the Mamba Edition on current generations, you get the standard on next-gen.
Pre-order starts today and you can reserve a copy now at GameStop.
