The cover athletes for "NBA 2K27" were revealed Wednesday, with Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark and Derrick Rose getting the nod as this year's featured stars.
Wembanyama, who will become the first San Antonio Spurs player to be featured on the cover of the video game, will be on the standard edition cover. Clark, who will be the first Indiana Fever player to earn the distinction, will be on the deluxe edition cover, and Rose will be a "2K" cover athlete for the second time on the ultra edition.
"Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose each come from different worlds, but they share the same obsession that has altered the trajectory of the game," Zak Armitage, SVP & GM of NBA 2K, said in a news release. "Wembanyama has broken the mold for what a big man can be and keeps breaking it. Clark is pulling up from the logo, not just redefining what range looks like, but the women's game entirely. And Rose changed what it meant to be a point guard -- explosive, physical, unstoppable -- and when faced with setbacks, his hunger for the game is what brought him back.
"None of them have an off switch, and that same relentless drive is what defines NBA2K27."
