Eight weeks on from the NBA Finals and we have had the thrills of the NBA Draft, looking at the names who are set to light up courts across the nation over the next few years. Trade season is in full flow, with Kevin Durant swapping the Warriors for the Nets. But what's next? Well, fortunately, NBA 2K20 is around the corner, and we've got all the latest information to keep you updated. 

Like last year, 2K will release three editions of the infamous basketball series. The Standard Edition, featuring Anthony Davis as the cover star; The Deluxe Digital Edition, featuring Davis with a gold themed background, and the Legend Edition starring Dwyane Wade in a vibrant Miami theme. 

2K will release all three editions of the game on September 6, 2019 across PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC & Google Stadia. There is currently no official trailer for the new game but is likely to drop just around a month before the game is released.
