Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade will not play in the NBA next season, but his fans will have something to look forward to.Wade will likely be one of the featured athletes in the next iteration of the 2k20 MT series. A certain Jimmy Bucket Hive posted a photo on Twitter, showing Wade in a promotional material for NBA 2K20. The photo also revealed that the new video game will come out on September 6.

Based on how it looked, Wade will be the cover athlete of the Legend Edition of the game. In previous iterations, the legend edition offers more freebies to gamers like free in-game currencies, posters, and some other collectibles. The Legend Edition is usually priced higher than the regular edition of the game.

Wade, who retired after the 2018-19 NBA season, joined fellow superstars who were featured in the legend edition of the game. Last year, LeBron James was the cover of the special edition. Shaquille O’Neal was featured on NBA 2K18, Kobe Bryant in NBA 2K17, and Michael Jordan in NBA 2K16.

It remains to be seen, though, who the main cover athlete is. Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was the cover athlete last year, while Boston Celtics superstar Kyrie Irving was the main face of the game two years ago.Read More
