Last week, 2K announced the arrival of NBA 2K22, its latest iteration of the best-selling NBA basketball simulation video game. As with every new 2K game, the developers look to improve more aspects from the previous version. This time around, they already have a ton of new features and improvements across all platforms the game will be available in.

A sneak peek into what’s new

Let’s get to the new things they added into the game, starting with Seasons. Essentially, Seasons will serve as new and exciting content for all players of the game post-launch. Think of it like it’s DLC, with more rewards and more ways to play the game in the future. Now, this is a free next-gen feature for NBA 2K22 players on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Also, it will only apply to the MyTEAM, MyCAREER, and The W game modes for those versions.

Next up, we have some changes coming to The City or The Neighborhood. For the next-gen console owners, 2K envisions a new City landscape teeming with interactions for players. Along with this, they’ve also included a new Quest system to engage players with creative content and rewards. Meanwhile, for current-gen console and PC owners, get ready to show out on a sailing cruise ship!

Finally, as customary with every new 2K game, MyCAREER will come with new ways to enhance the story and experience. For one, NBA 2K22 will introduce a Hidden Talents feature that allows you to pursue side ventures as you tread your NBA career. Also, you will now have the chance to expand your personal hub within the City depending on your profile and ambitions.

Some gameplay improvements

Along with these new features, NBA 2K22 will also bring improvements to the overall gameplay experience. Although, they are saving some more gameplay changes for the official reveal in August. For now, here’s what we got: on-the-court gameplay improvements.

In terms of on-the-court gameplay, 2K focused on improving several aspects to both offense and defense. On the offensive side of the ball, they’re planning to introduce new signature moves and combos to break down defenders. Also, they added skill-based mechanics for precise jump shots, dunks, and alley-oops. Essentially, they want you to focus on how well you move the sticks.

On defense, they’re introducing a revamped shot contest and blocking system. While there were no specifics on how these mechanics will work, 2K wants to provide a more rewarding system to elite defenders out there.

NBA 2K22 will arrive on September 10, 2021 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the PC.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is an MMO set in the Horizon universe

The game is built for mobile but will have cross-play gameplay with PC.

A few months ago, Sony sued Tencent for copying design elements from the Horizon series for the latter’s upcoming game, Light of Motiram. Though the game has been relatively silent since the kerfuffle, was Tencent on to something? Today, Sony and a Korean studio named NCSoft have officially announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMO set in the Horizon universe.

It’s not just a simple announcement either. The title now has an official 10-minute video to preview the upcoming title. Right now, the trailer has nothing but cinematics, pre-alpha footage, and developer interviews. However, it’s a clear commitment to bringing the MMO to life.

Both the cinematics and the pre-alpha footage show off the familiar mechanical beasts of the series. The main goal of the title is to team up with other players and take down colossal beasts.

The game is set in the Deathlands, a new region inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. Players will have the entire state to play with. And, instead of Aloy, they can create their own personalized characters.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is built for smartphones. However, Sony and NCSoft are working towards cross-platform gameplay for the PC.

Right now, especially since the released footage is from pre-alpha development, we don’t know when the MMO will launch. However, it does look extremely exciting for fans of the original duology.
