NBA 2K20 House of Next Trailer Video Arrives Ahead of Game’s Release Date
The arrival of the new NBA 2K20 game is just days away and a new trailer video has dropped. It features several of the major promotional stars for the new game to help hype things up ahead of the official release date. It also showcases other players in an advertisement that shows no gameplay whatsoever. Here’s a look at the new NBA 2K20 House of Next trailer video.
NBA 2K20 House of Next trailer features Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson
One of the major stars that appears in NBA 2K20 House of Next trailer is cover athlete Anthony Davis. He’s also set to be one of the new stars for the Los Angeles Lakers alongside LeBron James. Davis appears on the game’s Standard and Digital covers for 2K20.
AD pops up early in the video at a press conference which fades into a game of hoops on an outdoor court. Participating in that game is the NBA 2K20 Legends cover star, Dwyane Wade (or a stunt double). He throws a pass towards the basket so that son Zaire Wade can complete an ally oop dunk.
The new trailer video also reveals Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum shooting jumpers in a gym. That leads into a one-on-one battle between WNBA stars Aja Wilson and Candace Parker. There’s also NBA 2K20 endorser and top rookie, Zion Williamson dunking in a gym as a preview of what’s to come.
The song backing the new NBA 2K20 House of Next trailer appears to be an all-new track. Along with rap lyrics, there is “I got next” repeated to drive home the concept. This is the next edition of basketball video games. As the video’s description mentions, “This isn’t a game. This is the place the game comes to learn. Pre-order NBA 2K20 and discover what’s next.”
What is the purpose of the new 2K video?
The new NBA 2K20 House of Next video doesn’t really reveal any major gameplay or features secrets. We’ve seen those videos roll out over the past several months. House of Next is simply a new advertisement to help hype the game ahead of Friday’s big release day. It touches upon all the main areas of the game ranging from the cover stars to the inclusion of WNBA and the biggest rookie to come along in years. So they certainly have a lot to celebrate and want gamers to look forward to with 2K20.
It’s also being met with replies from the gaming community which criticize the game for incorporating gambling into it through having to spend to improve a team by purchasing random packs. The new NBA 2K20 also features a virtual slot machine to try to win prizes, although there are no actual coins (VC) needed to play based on how it looks. Still, some feel it promotes the concept a bit too much at a young age.
Others are criticizing the continuous issue of poor server performance that plagues many sports video games. Or there are those saying it’s better to just wait for the game to go on sale to buy it. That may be true, but this ad seems to be targeting those NBA fans who simply can’t wait for the season to start.
The new 2K20 features updated NBA rosters, a new MyCareer mode which was created like a Hollywood movie, new MyTeam, WNBA mode, and new Neighborhood features, among other new aspects.
The new NBA 2K20 game officially arrives on Friday, September 6, 2019, for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PCs. See more details about NBA 2K20 pre-order editions ahead of the game’s release.
