NBA 2K24 is right around the corner and we’re getting more updates on what to expect. Today, we are treated two game modes getting notable additions: MyNBA and The W.

MyNBA gets new era, more

For the unfamiliar, MyNBA is NBA 2K’s franchise mode. Here you can customize your league and run a team to your liking. Draft rookies, make trades, sign free agents, and the whole shebang. In NBA 2K23, 2K introduced eras that let you start a league at different key moments of the NBA. And the latest addition is all about that new era.

LeBron era

Players can relive or rewrite the 2010s basketball era that saw LeBron James join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to create the ‘Heatles’ superteam.

As players progress into the Modern Era, select players will undergo an automatic aging transformation. That’s also a new feature present in all of the historic Eras.

Side note: Steph Curry is notably missing in these artworks.

2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement

Fancy yourself as a General Manager or GM? Well, you can put your management skills to the test against the new CBA that the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association agreed on this past year. NBA 2K24 a luxury tax brackets scale with the salary cap, cap smoothing, increased value from the Mid-Level Exceptions (MLEs) and more.

MyNBA Lite

If that’s too much for you and you just want to wheel and deal your way to a Championship, 2K has you covered.

MyNBA Lite gives a pick-up-and-play approach to the franchise mode. It gives players the freedom and flexibility to quickly make the moves they need to win a title. These include making trades without CBA restrictions, extending contracts, having visibility on upcoming draft classes and more. It’s the perfect entry point for those looking to explore MyNBA.

The W gets shades of MyCareer gameplay

If you feel shortchanged by how your W player progresses, then fret not. It has improved in NBA 2K24.

Choose Your Path

Here, players can enter the league as a college hoops sensation or an up-and-coming player with valuable international experience. You decide how your WNBA career ultimately unfolds.

In Pursuit of Greatness

To be great, you gotta face the greats. Here, players can go up against some of the WNBA’s most gifted stars to see how they measure up.

Pick-up Games

Instead of 2K23’s Contact Challenges, this year, players can earn exciting badge perks by competing against a veteran from their own team, a star player they’re in a position battle with, and historic legends.

The W Rewards

New rewards and content will be available in The W and The W Online. These can be earned by winning games and completing challenges. Emerging the victor unlocks updated 2K Breakthrough Skins, MyTEAM Jersey Cards, and player-enhancing MyTEAM Shoe Cards and more exciting rewards.

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.
