Rick Nash Covering NHL 2K9

2K Sports announced today that Rick Nash will cover NHL 2K9. He is a three-time NHL All-Star and captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Visual Concepts is the new developer for the series, and they are building NHL 2K9 from the ground up.

“I’ve been a longtime fan of the hockey games from 2K Sports. My idols have all been on the covers of video games as I was growing up, so to be on the cover of NHL 2K9 myself is truly incredible,” said Nash. “The set of new features they’re adding is really going to make this game special for hockey fans - I’m hoping they give me a couple extra points to my player rating this year!”

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have Rick Nash be part of the 2K Sports family,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Nash is one of the marquee names in the NHL today. He is a true gamer and there is no player more fitting to represent NHL 2K9 as we bring high quality fun to hockey video games for another year.”

NHL 2K9 will release on PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2008.
