Netmarble and Kung Fu Factory have revealed their latest endeavor with the NBA as a new mobile title is coming called NBA Ball Stars. The game is an all-new puzzle-based mobile basketball title that is now open for pre-registration for both iOS and Android. As part of the announcement and release, the two companies have partnered with Ja Morant, 2019-20 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year, as the game's cover athlete. The game will highlight many of the NBA's star players on every team, using a combination of fast-paced action, skills, and strategic team-based gem-bursting puzzle gameplay with a collectible element to it. We got a couple of quotes about the game below from everyone involved as you can check out screenshots and the trailer below. No word yet on a proper release date yet.
