The game will be developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Wii. The game is currently scheduled for release on March 1st, 2009.
Cover athlete
2008 NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum is the cover athlete for 2K9.
Development
Then-lead developer Ben Brinkman's 1UP.com log revealed that MLB 2K9 represents the final act of a planned three year development cycle for 2K's baseball series for next gen systems. He restated the "three year plan" in a January 18, 2008 podcast with Official Xbox Magazine. In both interviews, Brinkman stated that 2K9, the third game, would represent the final, most polished version of the next gen series. However, Brinkman walked away from the series after the release of MLB 2K8..
