GRAVITY OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES NBA RISE GLOBALLY
Gravity Officially Launches NBA and PLYRS UNTD IP-Based Basketball Card Game ‘NBA Rise’ in Global Markets!
- Heightens immersion with officially licensed real player cards, team logos and game data, plus sports-broadcast-style screens
- Delivers the fun of card growth and strategic deck building, from scouting and developing players to building your own team
- Available for download on Google Play and the Apple App Store in 8 regions, including Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia
Global game company Gravity officially launched ‘NBA Rise,’ a basketball card game developed in-house featuring NBA and PLYRS UNTD (the official lifestyle brand of the NBPA) IP, in global markets on the 20th.
‘NBA Rise’ can be downloaded and played on Google Play and the Apple App Store in Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand from 14:00 on October 20, Korea time.
‘NBA Rise’ is a basketball card game developed in-house by Gravity using league, team and player IP, under official license agreements with the NBA (National Basketball Association) and the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). Along with real-life player cards, team logos and game data, it reflects the latest team rosters as of the 2025-2026 season. In-game screens are presented in the style of a sports broadcast, letting players check quarter information, team power, points, rebounds and other details in real time during a match.
Alongside this, the game delivers strategic deck building that lets players build their own dream team, from scouting players to developing player cards, as well as the enjoyment of step-by-step growth through card training and promotion, while position-based combinations and a synergy system provide tactical variety. A wide range of competitive content is also available in-game, including the PVP Arena, Popularity Contest and Tower Race, as well as PVE Season Games, Daily Division and RVR Club Conquest. Through the Club feature, the game’s guild system, players can chat with fellow club members and take part in club-versus-club competition, and the Market supports trading of all items, including player cards.
‘NBA Rise’ has been highly rated ever since the global CBT held in July. Users left reviews such as “This game has great potential. I’m looking forward to the full version,” “You can feel the hands-on satisfaction of stepping into a match in real time using tactics you set up yourself,” “The process of scouting players is remarkably immersive,” “I had so much fun I lost track of time,” and “It’s highly polished for an NBA IP game that reflects the latest team rosters.”
Gravity is also running in-game and community events to celebrate the official launch of NBA Rise. First, until December 31, an in-game attendance reward is given once a day when players log in, and can be claimed for up to 14 days. Until November 4, rewards are also given for completing card training and promotion in line with the set criteria and counts. In addition, for a set period, players can receive rewards each time they complete a set number of plays in any match content. Players can also take part in events such as the Preseason and Best 5 Pickup events.
In the official community, until November 10, users who join the title’s official Discord channel and then post a comment in the event channel with their follow verification and their in-game ID will receive 500 Gold and 10,000 Silver as a reward. Launch commemoration coupons will also be released on the official Discord channel and Facebook page.
Kenneth Noh, Head of Gravity’s Global Mobile Business Unit, said, “With NBA Rise, we focused on delivering a realistic play experience that closely resembles an actual basketball game, based on an official NBA license. Since the CBT, it has been a title that has drawn considerable anticipation from global users for its real-time tactical involvement and the appeal of scouting players yourself,” adding, “We hope users who enjoy sports management games will take a keen interest. A variety of events are under way to celebrate the launch, so we encourage players to join in and claim their rewards.”
