The annualized NBA 2K franchise have finally committed to a date for NBA 2K13: October 2, 2012 in North America and October 5, 2012 internationally for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, and PSP. Though it's surprising that no Vita version has been planned, it will be a launch window title for the Wii U during the holiday season.
Those who pre-order the title for Xbox 360 or PS3 will receive extra NBA All-Star content that will allow players to test three sponsored events—Foot Locker Three Point Shootout, BBVA Rising Stars Challenge, and Sprite Slam Dunk Contest—at the 2013 NBA All-Star Game in Houston.
Both current and classic superstars are available for the Three Point Shoutout and Dunk Contest, whereas the the Rising Stars Challenge and 2013 NBA All-Star Game will feature last year's All-Stars plus this year's once they are revealed.
