Fall is in full swing at 2K! 🎃 🍂 We caught up with employees in our Novato office to hear more about their fall faves

Engineer Erik F. shares his experience working on the #NBA2K25 MyCAREER Storyline, Heart of a Dynasty.

Today, Women in Gaming at 2K Dublin had the pleasure to host a Q&A with Nicole Earnest-Payte, Senior Director of Global Talent Acquisition. Nicole shared her insights, anecdotes and advice on her career journey, her experience in leadership and how to navigate an unpredictable industry by pivoting quickly. Thanks again to Nicole, as well as Josephine Leltz and Izzy Jones-McAuley for organizing this session! And an additional thank you to Aine O'Dowd for the help.

This summer, 2K’s Novato Engineering Graduates spent 8 weeks at the 2K Dublin office for their Core Skills Rotation, where they completed technical training on game development, collaborated on group projects, and heard from company leadership. Engineering Grad Shrujal Ambati, gave us a rundown of his time in Dublin: “It’s fitting to say this has been a once in a lifetime experience. Coming into 2K was a childhood dream for me, playing almost every game in their portfolio as an avid sports fan, and after spending 8 weeks training at the Dublin office, starting off my career here feels like the realization of that dream, now getting to work on those very titles. From the start, it was clear how much support and excitement exists at 2K for the Engineering Grad Program. We kicked off our time in Dublin training with Unreal Engine working on our personal projects for the first 6 weeks, getting interesting talks on game development from previous students in the program as well as from experienced executives. The final stretch of our trip was the 2K Engineering Grads Annual Game Jam, where we were challenged to create our own games based on the theme “Inequality.” After weeks of putting our projects together, we got to show them off to COO Phil Dixon in a company-wide showcase. We finished the day celebrating the latest installment of the NBA 2K franchise at Dublin’s NBA 2K25 launch event. Outside of work, we explored places like Galway, Cliffs of Moher and so much more of the scenic Irish countryside, and not to mention so many local and tourist spots around Dublin. We also took some trips across the water, visiting Edinburgh, London, and Southampton, where I saw my first premier league game. It’s hard to contain the last 2 months of our lives in Dublin within this post, and while it’s bittersweet leaving, I look forward to returning to Novato to start my first studio rotation with HB Studios, diving even further into game development.”

Today, 2K announced Gravity Ball, the newest game from Visual Concepts South, the team behind Lego 2K Drive. Gravity Ball is a fast-paced online multiplayer game - accessible through NBA 2K25’s The City, as optional DLC. What began as a passion project from the Lego 2K Drive team at VC South (who also developed The Track for NBA 2K25), quickly became one of the studio's favorite games to reach for internally and are eager to share it with the NBA 2K community. To learn more about what went into making this exciting game, check out Visual Concepts President Greg Thomas’ official statement ⬇ https://2kgam.es/3NriMhR
