Major League Baseball 2K8 or in short, MLB 2K8, is a MLB licensed baseball simulation video game developed by Kush Games and published by 2K Sports. New York Mets all-star shortstop José Reyes is featured on the cover.
MLB 2K8 represents the third seventh generation console baseball game of the 2K Sports Major League Baseball series, and the second lead developed by Ben Brinkman for Kush. In Brinkman's 1UP.com log, he revealed that MLB 2K8 represents the middle act of a planned three year development cycle for 2K's baseball series for next gen systems, with MLB 2K7 being the first stage. According to Brinkman, "At the same time we set out a three year plan for the MLB franchise so that once 2K7 ended we could get right to work on 2K8 and have a set of goals and features to accomplish." From an interview in an IGN article, "MLB 2K7 was the first step in a long process of reinventing the 2K Sports baseball brand and the MLB franchise. 2K7 was year one of that, and a lot of that was just getting back onto stable ground -- getting back with the people who play our game and putting something out there that they're happy with, they have a blast playing and that they can play for an extended period of time. I think we delivered upon that, especially given the short timeline with which we had to create that game."
As of now, only Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii editions are expected, though it is likely there will be handheld versions as well, and possibly sixth generation console versions, in particular for the PlayStation 2. This will be the first iteration of the 2K series for the Wii.[2]
MLB 2K8 was already in pre-production when MLB 2K7 was released.[3] Its current status is unknown, though it was likely to be in mid-production status during Summer 2007.
