I really buried the lead on this one above, purposely. The Theater is about to become your new favorite place to play in the City! Replacing the Warehouse buildings that were scattered throughout the City in 2K22, this one central location will serve as a dynamic way to play instant matchmaking games. The Theater building is set up thematically to look like a movie theater from the outside. On the exterior of the building are four giant ‘movie posters’ that detail the four events that are taking place inside the Theater at the current moment. Upon entering the Theater itself, you will find yourself in the lobby where you simply enter whichever theater/auditorium you are ready to play in. It’s quick, it’s easy, and best of all, it’s a seamless way to play 2K basketball!
My favorite aspect of the Theater is its dynamism. Every Friday morning (Pacific Time), the four event playlist will completely swap out to four new events! This means you will be playing a steady stream of new and rotating events all year long, with every week being a different experience for you and your crew! In fact, here is your Week 1 schedule for the Theater that will run from launch day on September 9th until the following Friday, September 16th:
Week 1:
This kind of a format allows us to create some creative new game types that you haven’t experienced in NBA 2K before. As always, we will be requesting and expecting your feedback all year long on what events you like, dislike, and want to see return in future weeks. I don’t really want to detail everything we have up our sleeves for this year, but here are a few events you will see at some point this year:
These can be configured in different and unique ways. Example, they can be 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, Squads Only, No Squads, Level 40s only, Vipers only, etc. There are actually a LOT of game types and I’m keeping some of my personal favorites under wraps until their week arrives! The flexibility of The Theater is something we’ve never had before and really opens up an experience we can all work on together to bring the community together.
