This year marks the silver anniversary of 1993’s seminal NBA Jam and it appears Tim Kitzrow – the much-loved voice behind the series – is working with Microsoft on reviving the series to mark the occasion.
The news comes courtesy of ESPN, where Kitzrow mentions as part of a wider conversation about the game that “there is movement in the works to get
done”, confirming he is working with Microsoft to possibly produce a new game.
It wouldn’t be the first time the series has been resurrected; after the original run of games ended in 2003, EA acquired the rights to the series and attempted to relaunch the series back in 2010 (with an enhanced version following in 2011). Despite the involvement of original lead designer and programmer Mark Turnell and generally positive reviews, a follow-up never materialised.
