NBA 2K27: Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose dominate new covers
Feel like balling with the sports vibes brewing up? Look no further than NBA 2K27 promising to raise the stakes with a slate of sharp-shooting heavyweights Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark and Derrick Rose gracing their own respective covers. My goodness.
NBA 2K27 is all about Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose
It’s impressive to say the least. The NBA Finals run Big Vic pushed his team toward? How about Double C just balling out of control season after season? A living NBA legend like D-Rose getting proper respect placed on his name? My goodness.
Today, 2K revealed Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark and Derrick Rose as the cover athletes for NBA 2K27.
This lineup brings together three generation-defining players who share a relentless passion for the game and the rare distinction of being No. 1 overall draft picks and Rookie of the Year winners. None of them have an off switch when it comes to hoops, and that same competitive spirit is what defines NBA 2K27.
Stay tuned for the official NBA 2K27 gameplay trailer premiering Tuesday, July 28!
