NFL and 2K Sports announce partnership to produce video games

The NFL and 2K announced a partnership to produce new non-simulation NFL video games, with the first game set to release in 2021.

2K published the “NFL 2K” franchise from 1999-2004. It currently produces the “NBA 2K” franchise as well as “WWE 2K,” “BioShock,” The Golf Club” and “X-COM.”

“It’s an exciting time for 2K and our fans,” said Ismailer. “We’re growing our s​ports offerings and building on our core games with new [intellectual property], as well as continued support of award-winning franchises, all with the goal of giving our fans more amazing games and entertainment for years to come.”
