NBA 2K All-Star, a mobile adaptation of the popular basketball simulation game, is launching in China on March 25th. This collaboration between Tencent and the NBA promises a live-service experience for mobile gamers.
The increasing popularity of mobile gaming has led to a surge in AAA sports titles on mobile platforms. While this trend isn't unexpected, the partnership between Tencent and the NBA to bring the NBA 2K franchise to mobile in China is noteworthy. Basketball enjoys immense popularity in China, making this a strategic move for both companies.
The absence of the usual yearly branding (like 2K24, 2K25) suggests a long-term live-service model for NBA 2K All-Star. The specifics of the mobile version remain unknown, adding to the anticipation surrounding its release.

Details about NBA 2K All-Star are scarce, leaving much to speculation. However, this release follows the successful launch of Dunk City Dynasty, another NBA mobile game developed in collaboration with the NBA. While some ventures, such as NBA All World, haven't fared as well, the overall trend indicates the NBA's growing commitment to the mobile gaming market.
