A fresh, futuristic new sports game is being added to NBA 2K25 as a paid add-on, but it looks like the developers may have been taking notes from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite when it comes to becoming a platform for other games to exist w👍ithin.

Say hello to Gravity Ball – a unique new sport which the president of NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts, Greg Thomas, describes as "American-Gladiators-meets-futuristic-basketball-meets-paintball." Players will be able t🌠o compete in 3v3 and 5v5 modes alongside friends, using power-ups and gravity-defying launch pads to soar 🐽through the air. It's certainly no run-of-the-mill basketball game we've seen before, but that's not what makes the whole situation so strange the more you look at it.

from Visual Concepts' president raises a few questions. Thomas refers to it as a "brand-new game" – the "newest game from Visual Concepts South," in fact – that's accessible via NBA 2K25's hub area, The City. It first began as a passion project, but "we knew we needed to find a way to share it with you," says Thomas, adding: "Leveraging NBA 2K25's platform has given us that opportunity." This terminology makes it sound like it's been treated in the same sort of way as Fortnite's array of non-battle royale modes, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite and Fortnite Festival, which were available within Fortnite when they were introduced last year.

There's obviously a big difference here, though, in that NBA 2K25 isn't a free game, and neither is Gravity Ball. Fortnite and all of its ga🍒mes, modes, or whatever you want to call them are free-to-play, so if you only care about playing Hot To Go in Festival, you can do that without having to pay for a battle royale game you have no interest in. Gravity Ball, on the other hand, will be $7.99 when it launches tomorrow, and that's obviously for people who already own the $69.99 sports game it'll live within. Paid DLC is one thing, but framing this as the latest game from the team behind Lego 2K Drive makes the whole thing rather questionable.

To be fair, Gravity Ball itself looks pretty fun, but it remains to be seen how✨ successful it'll be when locked away within another game like this. Thomas is looking forward to fans' feedback, and notes: "Good concepts deserve a chance to find an audience and shouldn'♔t die on the cutting room floor."
