NBA 2K27 expands MyCAREER, MyPLAYER, MyNBA, more

Familiar game modes, new additions

NBA 2K27 is bringing major changes across its biggest game modes.

The latest Courtside Reports cover everything from a first-ever co-op MyCAREER to a revamped MyPLAYER Builder. The City gets a nighttime makeover, MyTEAM expands its cross-platform Auction House, and MyNBA introduces a new way to follow an individual player’s career.

Here are the biggest changes coming to NBA 2K27.

MyCAREER gets co-op and historical eras

MyCareer Co-op

The biggest MyCAREER addition is Co-Op MyCAREER.

For the first time, players can invite a friend to join their MyCAREER. The feature revolves around Trace Miller, a custom teammate introduced during the G League portion of the story.

Players get to decide how Trace develops by choosing from nine build templates inspired by NBA stars including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Luka Dončić, Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokić, and Kawhi Leonard.

Once Trace joins the team, a friend can take control of him during MyCAREER games. Co-op can be enabled or skipped on a game-by-game basis. If the second player leaves, Trace simply returns to AI control.

Both players also earn their own full amounts of VC and Season XP. They can even experience MyCAREER’s story cutscenes together.

MyCAREER is also going back in time.

MyCareer Eras

MyCAREER Eras lets players start their career in one of five historical periods: the Magic vs. Bird Era, Jordan Era, Kobe Era, LeBron Era, or Steph Era.

Each era comes with period-accurate rosters, rules, presentation, and league progression. Historical trades and rookie destinations are also recreated to keep the league aligned with how that era actually unfolded.

Era-specific presentation includes customized HUDs, score bugs, stat overlays, locker rooms, and broadcast elements. Players can also complete Eras Moments to progress through a 40-level reward track.

For players who prefer a modern setting, the new Fire & Concrete storyline is more than twice as long as NBA 2K26’s story. It follows a player from high school through the G League and into the NBA.

The story also introduces a recreated Rucker Park, which serves as a major location in the prelude.

MyPLAYER finally adds female builds

NBA 2K27’s MyPLAYER Builder is expanding in a major way.

For the first time, players can create female MyPLAYERs and take them into The City.

Male and female builds use the same underlying gameplay framework. Height, weight, wingspan, and ratings are determined by the build itself rather than the character’s appearance.

That also means the new co-ed City is designed around gameplay parity. Players can team up with male and female MyPLAYERs across The REC, Theater, Street Kings, Park, and other activities.

The Builder is also becoming more strategic.

NBA 2K27 introduces Badge Tokens, which players use to equip Badges across six disciplines. The Builder shows how a player’s physical attributes affect Badge requirements and token costs in real time.

There are now 53 Badges, including 19 new ones. Several of the new Badges are more specialized, allowing players to build around specific strengths instead of relying on broader, catch-all abilities.

Players can also create and manage builds outside the game.

The NBA 2K HQ app gives players access to the full MyPLAYER Builder starting August 21. Builds created on a mobile device can be uploaded to a player’s home setup and shared with friends through QR codes.

The Builder also adds Badge Loadouts, Build Specialization, an updated Rebirth system, and the new Synergy system. These give players more ways to specialize builds and adjust their Badge setup for different matchups.

The City goes neon

The City

The City keeps the centralized layout introduced in NBA 2K26, but gets a visual overhaul for NBA 2K27.

The new version shifts to a nighttime, neon aesthetic. Key locations including The REC, Street Kings, and Park get their own updated designs.

The biggest addition is Rucker Park.

The legendary New York streetball venue has been recreated in NBA 2K27. It will serve as a location for Street Kings and as part of the Fire & Concrete MyCAREER experience. Players can take on Street Kings bosses and establish themselves at one of basketball’s most iconic courts.

The City also continues to revolve around Crews, giving players a persistent social space to compete and play with friends.

MyTEAM gets a bigger marketplace

MyTEAM is making one of its biggest infrastructure changes with a cross-platform Auction House.

For the first time, the Auction House is unified across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. This creates a larger pool of community-listed cards and gives players more options when looking for specific cards.

Buying cards is also faster.

NBA 2K27 removes the verification delay when an auction is won on those platforms. Cards are added to a player’s collection immediately, allowing them to put new additions into a lineup without waiting.

MyTEAM continues to let players build fantasy lineups using NBA and WNBA stars and take those squads into its single-player and multiplayer experiences.

MyNBA introduces MyNBA Legacy

MyNBA gets perhaps the most substantial change for offline players.

The newest addition is called MyNBA Legacy lets players focus on the career of an individual player instead of managing an entire franchise.

Players can select an active star, prospect, or Created Player and build a career around them. The goal is to accumulate Performance Points through statistical targets, achievements, and deep playoff runs.

The mode also introduces a generational element.

When a player’s career ends, their legacy can continue through their child. Future generations inherit parts of the previous player’s progression, including some Badges, training camp bonuses, and special abilities.

The result is effectively a player-focused career mode inside MyNBA, without requiring players to go through the traditional MyCAREER structure.

MyNBA is also getting broader franchise-management improvements.

Players can negotiate trades involving up to four teams and up to nine assets per team. Cash considerations and a dedicated Buyout Market are also being added.

The mode incorporates the NBA’s current Collective Bargaining Agreement more closely, including the Second Apron and its roster-building restrictions. Free agency is also being expanded with new contract negotiations, player motivations, morale, GM Trust, and Lifelong Loyalty Promises that give teams more ways to convince players to sign beyond simply offering more money.

Draft Classes are getting more flexibility through Draft Class Playlists, allowing historical classes to be mixed and matched. That means players can create alternate NBA histories where stars from different generations enter the league together.

MyNBA saves can also now run for up to 100 seasons, extending the mode’s already extensive franchise sandbox.

More ways to play NBA 2K27

Taken together, the changes show that NBA 2K27 is not focusing its biggest updates on one mode.

MyCAREER is becoming more social and more historical. MyPLAYER is becoming more flexible and accessible. The City gets a visual refresh while adding Rucker Park. MyTEAM improves its card marketplace. And MyNBA gets deeper franchise systems alongside a new player-focused Legacy experience.

NBA 2K27 launches on September 4, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Deluxe and Ultra Edition owners get Early Access starting August 28.

Mega Man: Dual Override shows off new gameplay

Proto Man joins Mega Man

Published

August 26, 2026

Rodneil Quiteles

Capcom has unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override, giving fans an extended look at the next mainline entry in the classic action-platformer series.

Revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live, the trailer showcases new gameplay mechanics, bosses, playable characters, and more. Mega Man: Dual Override is set to launch in 2027.

The game will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.

Proto Man joins the fight

For the first time in a mainline Mega Man game, Proto Man returns as a playable character alongside the Blue Bomber.

Proto Man has his own abilities and playstyle. This gives players two distinct ways to approach the game’s challenges.

The trailer also introduces the new Override system. It lets robots temporarily push their abilities beyond their normal limits.

There is a catch, though. Once Override runs out, the player’s performance will temporarily drop. Players will need to choose when to activate the boost and manage its drawbacks.

Build your own playstyle

Mega Man: Dual Override also introduces a Custom Chip system.

Players can install Custom Chips to give Mega Man and Proto Man additional abilities. These include rapid-fire attacks, a protective shield bubble, hover capabilities, and more.

Players can mix and match different chips to create combinations that suit their preferred playstyle.

The trailer also introduces Twinkle Girl, one of eight new Robot Masters. She attacks with dazzling, firework-themed abilities.

As in previous games, defeating Robot Masters lets players acquire their abilities and turn them into special weapons.

New weapons and familiar faces

Special weapons remain an important part of Mega Man’s arsenal. However, they consume energy with every use, making resource management important.

The trailer shows off one new weapon that unleashes a powerful charge attack. It can also function as an aerial dash, giving players another mobility option.

Fans also spotted a familiar face in the trailer. Astro Man from Mega Man 8 briefly appears during the footage.

Capcom has not confirmed whether Astro Man will play a larger role in the game. It also teased the possibility of more classic Robot Masters returning.

Mega Man: Dual Override is now available to wishlist on the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam.

Mega Man games are also on sale

Several Mega Man games are currently discounted on Steam for a limited time.

Mega Man 11 is available for SGD 5.53, while the recently released Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is discounted to SGD 37.42.

Other Mega Man titles are also included in the sale.

The remaster will also mark The Witcher 3‘s arrival on Battle.net through a new partnership between CD PROJEKT RED and Blizzard Entertainment. Both The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered and Songs of the Past will be available on the platform.

Players who purchase the expansion on Battle.net will also unlock a special Geralt-inspired skin in Diablo 4. More details will be revealed when CD PROJEKT RED attends BlizzCon in September.

Songs of the Past heads to Letten

CD PROJEKT RED also showed a teaser for Songs of the Past, its upcoming paid expansion for The Witcher 3.

The expansion introduces Letten, a new region filled with rural traditions and folklore. Its people enjoy bountiful harvests and lavish festivals, but something sinister lurks beneath the idyllic setting.

Geralt will face never-before-seen foes as he confronts a long-dormant evil.

Songs of the Past launches in 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players can now wishlist the expansion on select platforms.

CD PROJEKT RED is co-developing the expansion with Fool’s Theory, whose leadership includes veterans who worked on The Witcher 3. Meanwhile, Yigsoft is co-developing the remaster.

Two expansions are now free

Ahead of the remaster’s September launch, CD PROJEKT RED is also giving all current The Witcher 3 owners access to its two acclaimed expansions at no additional cost.

Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are now available to existing owners, giving players a chance to experience the expansions before the remaster arrives.

CD PROJEKT RED will showcase both Remastered and Songs of the Past throughout gamescom. The studio will host guided presentations in Hall 8.1, while REDstream presentations will also be available through YouTube and Twitch.

Final Fantasy VII REVELATION trailer showcases Weapons, more

Scheduled to launch in Spring 2027

Final Fantasy VII REVELATION | gamescom 2026

Final Fantasy VII REVELATION is shaping up to be the biggest chapter yet in Square Enix’s remake trilogy. During gamescom Opening Night Live, Square Enix revealed a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming RPG. It showcases the return of the legendary Weapons, a new Summon, and more ways to explore its massive world.

The third and final entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Series is scheduled to launch in Spring 2027 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox on PC. The game is now available for wishlisting across all platforms.

The Weapons return

The new trailer puts the spotlight on the Weapons, enormous guardians that emerge as the planet faces an unprecedented crisis.

Unlike typical enemies, the Weapons make no distinction between friend and foe. Their rampages cause destruction across the planet, forcing Cloud and his companions to confront them while continuing their fight against Sephiroth.

The trailer shows battles against these colossal creatures across different environments. Cloud and his allies face the Weapons on desert sands, during aerial encounters, and even underwater. Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, and Ultima Weapon can also be seen in the footage.

The Weapons were late-game encounters in the original Final Fantasy VII. Revelation reimagines these battles for its modern combat system, with some appearing as particularly challenging endgame encounters that pay homage to their original forms.

Explore the world from the Highwind

Revelation will also significantly expand the series’ approach to exploration.

Players can freely explore the entire planet aboard the Highwind airship. They can then parachute down to different locations, transitioning seamlessly from aerial travel to ground exploration.

On the ground, players can traverse the world using Chocobos and a grappling hook. The trailer also teases aerial encounters and other ways the party will interact with the expanded world.

With Meteor threatening the planet and the Weapons causing chaos across different regions, players will have multiple conflicts to deal with. The party can choose where to go, who to help, and the order in which to tackle different situations.

New abilities through FITS

The trailer also introduces the new FITS system.

FITS lets characters equip unique outfits that provide new abilities and increased power. These outfits are tied to specialized roles inspired by classic Final Fantasy jobs.

Cloud appears in a Warrior FITS, while Tifa is shown wearing a Black Mage FITS. The system adds another layer of character customization to the series’ hybrid combat system, which combines real-time action with Tactical Mode.

The game will also feature new playable characters and abilities as the party prepares for its final confrontation with Sephiroth.

The final battle begins in 2027

Final Fantasy VII Revelation follows Cloud and his companions as the world approaches total destruction. With Sephiroth nearing godhood and Meteor threatening to annihilate the planet, the party boards the Highwind for its final journey.

The game serves as the conclusion to the three-part Final Fantasy VII Remake project, which began with Final Fantasy VII Remake and continued with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Players who want to catch up can play both titles on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Both games also feature Streamlined Progression options that can make the experience more accessible for players who want to move through the story more quickly.

Save data from the previous games will also unlock bonuses in Revelation. Players with Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade save data will receive the Chocobo & Moogle Summon Materia, while Final Fantasy VII Rebirth save data unlocks the Phoenix Summon Materia.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation launches in Spring 2027 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
