2K seem to be on a roll, today. With news already coming out that ‘The Icon’ Sting will appear in their wrestling series: WWE 2K15, the company have also announced that music sensation; Pharrell Williams will curate the soundtrack for their upcoming basketball title; NBA 2K15. 2K have hit some home-runs, today.
That’s right, the Grammy award winner, best known for his hits; ‘Happy’ and featuring on Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’, looks set to curate the soundtrack for the sport game sensation. We all know that soundtracks for sports games are extremely important as you will be hearing those songs for an entire year, constantly, depending on how long you spend playing the game itself, so having Pharrell behind the wheel of creativity is a brilliant move on 2K’s part.
“Pharrell’s passion and reputation as a visionary producer and expertise from working with the NBA will be evident in the largest and most eclectic NBA 2K soundtrack ever. We really listened to our fans’ feedback on how we could improve their experience from a music standpoint, and we’re confident Pharrell’s collaboration in NBA 2K15 will impress players as much as it’s impressed us.” – Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for 2K.
With NBA 2K being one of the more consistent sports games around and NBA 2K15 looking even better than before, having Pharrell on the team can only boost the already rising quality of this franchise, as it looks set to be the king of basketball games, once again. NBA 2K15 is scheduled for release on October 7 in North America, and on October 10 internationally for PlayStation3 and PlayStation4, the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
