NBA 2K21 got some brand new Quantum Packs today, but the real conversation has hovered around Galaxy Opal Shaq. With every one of these new pack releases, there's usually one player that gets the entire community talking. Earlier this month it was Michael Jordan dropping in the Retro 2s. This time, The Diesel gets a chance to showcase how dominant he can be in the game. By grabbing the EVO version of O'Neal, players can level him up to the coveted Galaxy Opal version of the Hall of Famer. A lot of people are crowding in to see what all the fuss was about. With the recent change of the season, the game's auction house seemingly short-circuited. There were players and cards that were going for 100s of 1,000s of MT now selling for a fraction of the cost. It's a wild market out there. (Just ask anyone who dealt with the real-life stock situation recently.) Get a look at the Superman down below.
Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas hinted at 2K had brewing this gen during a previous interview. "NBA 2K21 is a monumental leap forward for the franchise," he said. "We're combining all of our experience and development expertise to craft the best game possible and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, we are building the game from the ground up to take full advantage of next-gen power and technology."
NBA 2K21 is out now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. With PS5, and Xbox Series X versions out right now. Below, check out the official pitch for the game from 2K Games and Visual Concepts:
