NBA The Run is a fairly entertaining take on arcade basketball. We’ve praised its controls and the gameplay loop, although the lack of different modes stood out as a sore spot in our review. Well, that’s about to change, as Play by Play has revealed that a single-player mode is in the works, and that you can either play solo or with your buddies both locally and online.
There’s a catch, though. The studio is taking its time to get things right, so don’t hold your breath for a single-player mode as far as this year’s concerned. It’s currently slated for a Spring 2027 release, although there’s still a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next few months. There’s that Ranked mode that’s due alongside Voice Chat, both of which could add some flavor to the game and individual matches.
Season 1 is bringing a massive update to the game in August, too, so there’s definitely a lot of mileage on the table for the average player. Of course, the developer is also working on gameplay balance and tuning, bug fixes, and even adding three brand new players on July 3rd. The entire roadmap for the next couple of months is below if you can’t wait to find out what’s next.
