The Alien has landed in Dunk City Dynasty
Victor Wembanyama is officially playable in Dunk City Dynasty, arriving as the headliner of the Season 7 Volume 2 update from Netease Games. The San Antonio Spurs center brings a playstyle that breaks the mold for big men in the game, and the update packs in new cosmetic outfits and a full slate of summer events alongside him. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of the new content.
What makes Wembanyama different from other centers?
Most big men in Dunk City Dynasty are anchored to the paint, grinding for putbacks and interior positioning. Wembanyama flips that script entirely. Tagged in-game as "The Alien", he operates as a legitimate perimeter threat while still dominating inside, giving you a center who can run point-forward sets and pull opposing defenders far out of the key.
That flexibility translates directly into competitive advantages. Opponents who stack the paint to stop interior scoring suddenly find themselves exposed on the perimeter, while teams that sag off to defend the three-point line give up open driving lanes. Wembanyama forces defensive decisions that most rosters simply aren't built to handle.
How does Wembanyama change the current meta?
His arrival reshapes how teams approach both offense and defense in Season 7 Volume 2. On offense, he gives you a genuine floor-spacer at center, something that was missing from the big-man pool before this update. On defense, his length creates problems for opponents trying to attack the rim.
The practical effect is that you can now run stretch-five lineups that were previously unavailable. Opponents who relied on traditional center matchups will need to adjust, and teams that already ran perimeter-heavy rosters get a significant upgrade at the five spot.
What new cosmetics come with the Season 7 Vol. 2 update?
The update ships with several new outfit options tied to Wembanyama's arrival and the broader summer theme.
- 2024-25 Exclusive Jersey: Available for purchase to mark Wembanyama's in-game debut. This is the most direct way to represent the Spurs star.
- Severing Blade outfit: Obtainable through the Costume Supply Crate.
- Player One outfit: Also available through the Costume Supply Crate.
- Rest set: Unlockable via the new Treasure Hunt Event.
- Geometrics set: Unlockable via the Treasure Hunt Event alongside the Rest set.

How do you earn rewards in the summer events?
Season 7 Volume 2 runs three separate reward tracks, and you can stack progress across all of them simultaneously.
Summer Vitality Login Rewards
The simplest track: log in daily and complete the associated event quests to collect bonuses. No ranked requirement, no minimum playtime beyond what the quests ask. If you're already playing regularly, this one fills itself.
Rank Sprint Rewards
This track ties rewards to ranked progression. Complete the designated missions while climbing the ladder to unlock the event's reward pool. It rewards players who were already grinding ranked regardless of the update, making it a clean overlap for competitive players.
Colorful Summer event
A third parallel event with its own mission set and in-game rewards. Details on specific mission requirements will surface as you log in and check the event tab, but the structure mirrors the other summer events: complete tasks, earn rewards.

Should you pull for Wembanyama?
For sports games players who run any kind of guard-heavy or perimeter-focused lineup, Wembanyama fills a gap that no previous center covered. The ability to stretch defenses from the five position while maintaining interior presence is a genuine meta shift, not just a roster addition.
If you're comfortable with traditional post-up centers and rarely run spread offenses, the upgrade is less dramatic but still meaningful for defensive versatility. The 2024-25 Exclusive Jersey is a clean cosmetic option regardless of playstyle.
