2K Games dropped new info about the next season of NBA 2K26, as New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns takes center stage for Season 6. This season has been given an anime theme, but there isn't a lot here that's actually anime-themed, and no crossovers with anything from the genre. It just feels like they wanted to have an animated season and didn't do much with it beyond a few cosmetics and items. We have more details about the season's offerings below from the devs, along with the trailer and the Courtside Report, as the content will launch on April 3, 2026.
