The subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games, has made itself a very big name in the video gaming industry. The studio, founded in 2005, has garnered most fame for creating some sports and action games that have sold very well, including the NBA 2K series, BioShock, Borderlands, and WWE 2K.
The NBA 2K Franchise
2K Games’ crown jewel is the NBA 2K franchise. The series, from the very beginning up until now, has continually raised the bar for basketball simulation games. Realistic gameplay and details along with deep career modes are what make NBA 2K earn top honors in sales and gain tremendous love from sports fans and gamers. One new edition comes out every year, ensuring that the series always remains updated, fresh— and thereby the best basketball game to get.
Venturing Further into Action and RPG Games
Besides sports, 2K Games has had giant successes with action and RPGs. One of the company’s most renowned titles is BioShock, praised for its story immersion, dystopianism, and unique gameplay. The cell-shaded art style of the Borderlands franchise, cotillion of which and cooperative multiplayer it also hosts, gave it an offbeat humor and further solidified its large fanbase.
WWE 2K Series
The WWE 2K series has been published by 2K Games and has managed to represent the world of professional wrestling fairly well, striking an adequate balance between realism and entertainment. Admittedly, the series has been under fire for some years now due to gameplay issues; however, each year’s annual release finds a set of loyal fans enjoying them and hence keeps the series a pillar of 2K’s sports catalog.
A Strong Future
A powerful portfolio of titles across multiple genres keeps 2K Games at the forefront of the gaming world. The studio shapes the future of sports and action gaming as it continues to innovate and grow its offerings.
