So Dunk City Dynasty just launched Season 2, and guess what? They’re not just adding new players, they’re also throwing in a whole $10,000 prize pool to get your sweaty fingers back on the screen. The new season’s called Championship Parade, and it’s serving both All-Star energy and summer chaos.
Now, full disclosure: I don’t know a single thing about basketball. Couldn’t tell you what a pick-and-roll is. But even I can admit this game looks fun especially when there’s fresh content, flashy outfits, and real cash on the line.
New season, new starting lineup
Let’s talk roster upgrades, because even a hoops noob like me can appreciate good character design.
- Jayson Tatum finally joins the game and he’s got two playstyles in one. With his ultimate skill, Free & Easy, you can switch between Perimeter and Post modes depending on how you want to break ankles. First dual-form character, by the way.
- Joel “The Process” Embiid is here to remind you that centers aren’t just tall. They’re terrifying. He can shoot, rebound, block, and go full defense-mode with 360-degree coverage. His passive? It stacks buffs. His offense? Arsenal. Sounds scary. I believe him.
- Kristaps Porzingis a.k.a. the original “Unicorn,” brings in clean ball handling, smooth mid-range shots, and some scary rim action. He’s basically what happens when a big guy gets guard moves.
New season, new looks
Because looking good is half the battle.
The Season 2 Battlepass is now live, packed with cosmetic unlocks like the free Heavy Jacket (yes, for summer, because logic), plus new themed sets like Repair Master and Wizard Hoopers. If you like mixing a little cosplay with your clutch plays, you’ll be right at home.
$10,000 up for grabs and yes, PH players are eligible
Here’s where things get exciting! The game is hosting its first official tourney, Community Bash, with a total prize pool of $10,000.
And yes, before you ask: Philippine players are eligible. The competition is split into two regional brackets: Americas and Southeast Asia, and the Philippines falls under SEA. So, Manila ballers, time to squad up. (Did I say that right in bball speak??)
Details:
- 64 teams per region (128 total)
- 3v3 format, 21-point mode
- Matches scale from best-of-3 to best-of-7
- Livestreamed semis and finals with shoutcasters and content creators
Even if you don’t bag the prize, it’s still a chance to flex your skills on a bigger stage. (Or, like me, just watch other people who actually know what they’re doing.)
Wait, what is Dunk City Dynasty again?
Quick recap for the uninitiated:
- ✅ Official NBA/NBPA-licensed mobile game
- ✅ Fast-paced 11-point matches
- ✅ Real NBA stars like Curry, Luka, Giannis, Jokic, and more
- ✅ 5v5 full-court mode, or 3v3 for maximum chaos
- ✅ Always-on multiplayer, because sleep is for people who don’t want to be GOAT
It’s fun, frantic, and made for people who want basketball with a side of flash even if they can’t tell the difference between a point guard and a power forward (hi, it’s me).
