NBA 2K26 brings fans closer to the court with cutting-edge visuals, iconic broadcasters, and the unmatched spectacle of NBA game nights

Today, 2K announced the latest presentation enhancements coming to NBA 2K26 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2, designed to authentically reflect the energy of the NBA for a fully immersive experience. From heightened player fidelity to palpable arena atmosphere, energetic commentary and captivating pageantry, NBA 2K26 pushes the limits of realism in-game. 

“We want to blur the line between reality and gameplay as much as possible, and NBA 2K26 portrays that lifelike presentation like never before,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts. “Each detail, big and small, captures the essence of what it feels like to be in your favourite team’s arena – the championship banners hanging from the rafters, iconic broadcast voices, and fans cheering and heckling in the stands are fully brought to life.”

New and updated presentation enhancements in NBA 2K26 include: 

• Player Fidelity: In NBA 2K26, the evolution of player fidelity is more noticeable thanks to a new shader that brings out the subtleties of each player’s skin. This latest shading technology makes every detail of the game more vivid and dynamic – highlighting elements like the curvature of embroidered names on the backs of jerseys, ultra-fine stitching, and even improved muscle definition after a thunderous dunk. 
• Arena Visuals: In addition to the new skin shader,lighting has been redesigned to improve light intensity and colour correction ensuring players shine and reflect under the bright lights of basketball’s biggest stage. New floor shaders have also been introduced to add more life and sheen to every court, representing even the distinct contrast in wood grain colour. 
• Arena Atmosphere: Crowd variety has been significantly expanded, featuring twice as many unique character models – including a wider range of body types, heads, and age groups – to better represent the NBA’s diverse fanbase. Fans in the crowd have also been given rally towels, foam fingers and even rubber chickens to show their team spirit in key moments of special games. In certain arenas, fans will also wear an arena provided LED wristband that’s used to create light shows for player introductions, after big plays, and more. 
• Team-Specific Features: From the shape of each arena’s overhead spotlights to the Clippers’ towering “Wall,” or the Pistons’ courtside lounge, all 30 arenas in NBA 2K26 have been designed to closely match their real-world counterparts. Authenticity extends to pre-game rituals across the league down to the specific patterns of light shows, how they illuminate the court with team colours, and even capturing the thin haze that fills the arena after pyrotechnics.
• Broadcast Voices & Late-Game Commentary: Tim Legler joins the broadcast booth this year, accompanied by 2K vets Kevin Harlan, Greg Anthony, Stan Van Gundy, Shams Charania, and more. NBA 2K26 will also feature new PA announcers and international correspondents. Additionally, when the clock ticks down and the game is on the line, there will be a noticeable shift in tone from the commentators to match the intensity in the arena. 
• Big NBA Moments: Capture the magnitude of NBA awards and moments, including a full integration of the NBA Cup. Now all seven NBA regular season trophies from MVP to Rookie of the Year will be presented to players at their first home game after winning the award. Adding to the pageantry, as players win titles, banners will be raised in the rafters to celebrate their achievements and championships. Throughout their career, these dynamic banners will update to reflect and commemorate their legacy and place in NBA history.

BORDEAUX, France – 7 Aug. 2025 – Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than 1 MM units sold from developer Shiro Games, introduces a host of highly anticipated mechanics and expands world depth in Contract: The Fief DLC, arriving on PC via Steam and GOG in September 2025.

Raise and rule over a domain of your own, balancing law, production, and governance as your fief expands. Whether you favor prosperity or control, each decision leaves a lasting mark on the population and the identity of your fief, even influencing how other realms respond to your rule, with diplomatic ties that can affect your mercenaries troop’s treatment across the land.

Expand your fief district by district, choosing central and production buildings that fulfill your population’s growing needs. As new factions emerge, scholars, peasants, nobles, and more, their influence shifts your domain’s identity toward militarism, erudition, commerce, or even criminality.

Enact laws, assign mandates, and unlock unique building effects while managing the shifting happiness of your people. Each rest cycle advances time, filling or neglecting their needs: food, security, education, and comfort.

“Contract: The Fief provides an enjoyable and dynamic long-term progression system that we know fans have been hoping for,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “It ties directly into the rest system, allowing mercenaries to grow their domain without breaking the pace or spirit of the game.”

Contract: The Fief DLC will launch in September on PC via Steam and GOG for $12.99 / 12.99€ / £10.99. For more information about Wartales, please visit the official website and follow the game on X/Twitter, Facebook, or Discord.

With omnipotence on your side, you’ll shape civilizations, conjure miracles, cast curses, and decide the fate of all living mortals in a world that bends to your will.

Paderborn, Germany, August 6th, 2025: Thy holinesses 42 Bits Entertainment and Aerosoft are proud to announce that Fata Deum, the long-awaited god simulator, has foretold its release date! The game shall be available on Steam Early Access on September 15th 2025!

Inspired by legendary titles of old, such as Black & White and Populous, Fata Deum shall bestow upon its players the true second-coming of the God Games genre. Players will be granted the divine power to influence, build, destroy, and shape entire worlds, in their most grandiose image, or their least favourite mood! Through kindness or cruelty, by nurturing or with tyrannical ways, every action, good or bad, will change your people, their behaviour, how they worship you, and the very land beneath their feet.

What Kind of Deity will you Become?

In Fata Deum, you are not just a builder of cities. You are a shaper of beliefs, destinies and legacies. Guide mortals with a gentle hand or rule over them through fear. Fulfil their prayers, perform miracles, or punish them, because they’ve been bad, or… just because you can! Every action you take shifts the world around you, making each playthrough a unique, emergent story.

The game is separated into two main cycles of day and night. When the sun is up, perform wonders, shape civilization, and compete with rival gods for influence. In the darkness of night, tweak your strategy in peace, whisper into their dreams, and plan your next move. 

Whether you micromanage every moment or prefer a broader, more philosophical approach, Fata Deum adapts to your style. With a variety of handcrafted maps offering dozens of unique locations filled with secrets, story-driven quests, and strategic opportunities, you’ll be able to smash structures with physics-based destruction, call down meteorites, or reshape the landscape entirely. Build over 20 types of structures to tailor your society toward war, knowledge, industry, or growth, but remember, you are not the only god in this universe. 

Rival gods will challenge your influence, each with their own unique personality and divine domain:

• Violence, goddess of war and destruction
• Pleasure, god of indulgence, art, and joy
• Deceit, god of illusion and manipulation
• Fertility, the mother of life and creation

Wield miracles that affect everything from birth rates to city expansion. Bless your mortals with strength and intelligence, protect them in battle, or sacrifice them to gain power. You can even turn them into zombies, drain their life essence, or summon creatures from beyond. No two gods will play the same, and no world will grow alike.

“We’re proud to finally announce the launch date for Fata Deum! Our journey started with a humble Kickstarter, where 1,451 amazing backers believed in our vision and gave us the momentum to create something truly special. Since then, that support has grown into a community of over 200,000 wishlisters on Steam, something we could’ve only dreamed of back in 2021!” Said Christoph Schulze of 42 Bits Entertainment “Fata Deum is more than just a game to us. It’s our tribute to the god games we grew up with, and our chance to breathe new life into a genre we love. We can’t wait to welcome players into the world we’ve built, and hope they will enjoy creating wonderful worlds… or destroying them!”

Key Features at Launch:

• A living, evolving world that reacts to your divine choices
• Powerful miracle system with tons of effects and consequences
• Rival gods with distinct strategies, temperaments, and domains
• Dynamic day and night gameplay phases
• Over 20 building types and flexible city management
• Real-time physics-based destruction
• Handcrafted maps packed with quests, secrets, and surprises
• Morality and influence systems that shape both people and landscape

Fata Deum will be available for PC via Steam Early Access on September 15th but you can wishlist it today! The game will be available in various languages upon launch.
