Giannis, Tatum, Banchero Become Beasts in NBA The Run

Merlin sees Play by Play Studios unveiling a new trailer for "NBA The Run" that puts Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum and Paolo Banchero together as the "Beasts in the East" trio. The title is a 3-on-3 arcade street basketball game set on legendary courts like Venice Beach, The Tenement in the Philippines and Rucker Park, with solo, team and online knockout modes coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam sometime in 2026. The reveal follows earlier teases that included Luka Dončić and LaMelo Ball and keeps the star-driven rollout moving. Merlin senses the choice of Giannis, Tatum and Banchero will shape early playstyles, trading pure power for versatile scoring and athleticism. The street setting promises a distinct, faster meta than simulation titles, and more trio reveals will define the game’s identity and buzz. Watch for roster leaks and mode demos next.
