2K Sports on Monday released the first gameplay footage for its upcoming professional basketball game, NBA 2K16. The footage comes by way of a digital short focused on cover star Stephen Curry.
The video, narrated by NBA 2K16 collaborator and filmmaker Spike Lee, is called “Beyond the Shadows.” It’s a moving montage of clips from Curry’s basketball life, beginning with his childhood and running through high school, college, and finally the NBA Draft and his championship run with the Golden State Warriors.
There’s only a few seconds of gameplay to be seen in the video, but it looks impressive.
This is the first in a three-part miniseries about NBA 2K16’s three cover stars. The other two will focus on Anthony Davis and James Harden.
NBA 2K16 launches on September 29 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. Preordering the game, however, lets you play a little early.
2K Sports also recently released the first in-game, 1080p screenshots for NBA 2K16. Take a look at those here.
