For the first time, Gundam is coming to Call of Duty: Mobile. The collaboration goes live in Season 6 — Gundams Arrive by July 2.

The major collaboration with the legendary Japanese franchise gives CODM players a chance to engage with and earn Gundam themed operators, weapons, and rewards through many parts of the new season.

Meanwhile, Gundam Team Deathmatch battles are fought from a third-person perspective on a new map made specifically for the mode.

This takes place on an interstellar space station with multiple futuristic points of interest.

Rewards

Keep an eye out for themed events and easy ways to snag new rewards while playing the special Multiplayer mode.

As a bonus, after completing a game of Gundam Team Deathmatch, players can watch Gundam themed operator animations outside the match.

Earn rewards for watching them, with more animations being unlocked through player participation in Gundam Team Deathmatch, and throughout normal Multiplayer and Battle Royale modes.

Complete missions and challenges in the Survival of the Fittest event to obtain Gundam themed rewards including new the legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and much more.

Moreover, deploying in your favorite Gundam suits with the Gundam Forever Operator Series leads to a chance to unlock:

  • Operator Skins Proton — v Gundam
  • Reaper — Sazabi
  • Ethan — Freedom Gundam

Furthermore, the Season 6 Battle Pass features free and premium items including new Operator Skins, Weapon Blueprints, Calling Cards, and additional Call of Duty Points.

NBA 2K27 gameplay trailer showcases new dunk mechanics, Rucker Park, and more

First gameplay details revealed

NBA 2K27 gameplay

NBA 2K27 is giving fans their first look at this year’s gameplay.

2K has released the official gameplay trailer for NBA 2K27, showcasing enhanced visuals and several gameplay updates ahead of the game’s September 4 launch. The trailer also features cover athletes Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose while teasing changes across Gameplay, MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyNBA, and the MyPLAYER Builder.

The publisher also confirmed the Preseason Breakdown: NBA 2K27 Game Reveal, which streams on August 18 at 10:00 AM PT. During the presentation, 2K will reveal this year’s biggest gameplay innovations and mode updates before Early Access begins on August 28 for Deluxe Edition and Ultra Edition owners.

Smarter AI and a new Dunk Meter headline gameplay changes

NBA 2K27 introduces several gameplay refinements based on community feedback.

AI defenders now contest shots more effectively and hold their defensive positioning better, especially in online modes like The REC. The changes aim to create a more balanced experience on both ends of the floor.

The game also introduces a fully dynamic Dunk Meter. Instead of locking in the timing at takeoff, the meter continuously evaluates defensive positioning throughout the dunk attempt. Open driving lanes create a larger green window, while late defensive rotations shrink it, making each dunk attempt feel more responsive to the action on the court.

MyPLAYER Builder expands with more Badges

The MyPLAYER Builder now features 53 total Badges, up from 40 in last year’s game. Players can also experiment with 19 brand-new Badges designed to support more specialized builds.

Cap Breakers are also making a return. This time, players can preview attribute boosts directly inside the Builder before finalizing their character.

MyTEAM and MyNBA receive community-requested updates

MyTEAM introduces the franchise’s first unified Auction House across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The shared marketplace creates the largest pool of community-listed cards in the mode’s history. It should also make card prices more consistent across supported platforms.

Winning an auction is now faster, too. Purchased cards go straight into your collection without a verification delay.

MyNBA also receives several franchise management updates that reflect today’s NBA. These include second apron salary cap rules from the league’s latest collective bargaining agreement and the ability to offer No-Trade Clauses to free agents.

Rucker Park comes to MyCAREER

The City returns with the same centralized layout introduced last year. This time, however, it gets a new nighttime look filled with neon lights.

NBA 2K27 also recreates the legendary Rucker Park. The iconic streetball court serves as the setting for this year’s MyCAREER prelude story, Fire & Concrete, and also appears in the Street Kings mode.

NBA 2K27 launches on September 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition or Ultra Edition can jump in early starting August 28 through Early Access.
