NetEase Games launched the mobile street-basketball title NBA Dunk City in South Korea on the 6th, using an official NBA license. The release brings the game to the Korean market as a locally available download and announces in-game content tied to real NBA teams and players.
NBA Dunk City holds licenses for 30 NBA teams and features more than 40 real-life star players, including Stephen Curry and LeBron James. The roster list and team licenses are official parts of the product; actual stars appear in the game with their own in-game identities and abilities.
The game combines AOS-style strategic elements with a character growth system. Players raise and level up athletes, then deploy each star’s exclusive skills to play tactical matches. Match outcomes depend on the results of player development and on how those exclusive skills are used in play—so character progression and timing of abilities are core gameplay levers rather than pure button-mashing.
To celebrate the Korean launch, NetEase is running a one-month event where logging in and completing missions can earn rewards valued up to 7,000,000 KRW by in-store pricing. The event package includes more than 240 free gacha draws and diamond currency among the giveaways. An in-game invite event grants the character Kawamura Yuki for free, and the original character Aira is available at launch. Full event details and terms are posted on the official NBA Dunk City website.
Why it matters
Takeaway: with 30 licensed teams, 40-plus real players, and gameplay that ties match results to athlete growth and exclusive skills, assembling and upgrading specific stars is a clear, concrete route to better results in NBA Dunk City—and the month-long free-draw heavy launch event hands players plenty of early resources to test those lineups.
