2K Sports has announced that its basketball title NBA 2K13, which carries the official NBA brand, is set for release on October 2 in North America and on October 5 worldwide. The game is coming out for just about every platform: the PC, PS3, 360, PSP, Wii and a Wii U version slated for release next year. The company has not announced a Vita or 3DS version of the game, but we wouldn't be surprised if the Vita got it down the line.
Players who preorder the game on the 360 or PS3 will receive an NBA All-Star DLC package sponsored by Sprite. The DLC is set in Houston's arena, allowing fans to stage their own NBA All-STar game which includes three events: the Foot Locker Three Point Shootout, BBVA Rising Stars Challenge, and the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.
"The NBA All-Star package is our way saying 'thank you' to fans for their ongoing love of the NBA 2K series," said Jason Argent, VP of marketing for 2K Sports. "This content provides a ton of depth and value to our fans, and it's just the beginning of a lot of big news about NBA(R) 2K13."
