My DMs are full of questions about NHL 25. We also always get a question about EA’s upcoming hockey game in the SGO Press Pass chat. But thanks to EA Sports themselves, we finally got the first bit of news about NHL 25.
NHL 25 Leaks
EA Sports has been tight-lipped about NHL 25 for some time now. The game’s release is less than two months away, and the Madden publisher has said nothing.
However, due to a mistake in uploading NHL 25‘s official reveal trailer, the video was unlisted for a lengthy period so fans could check it out. Now, while I couldn’t see the trailer, our friend Mike Starw got a few new details about the game.
Details
EA Sports set the trailer to release on Thursday, August 22 at 11 am. However, due to the company unlisting the video instead of making it private, Mike Straw from Insider Gaming grabbed the first official details of NHL 25.
According to Mike Straw, the game will feature Jack and Quinn Hughes as its cover athletes. This is the first time in sports video game history that a set of brothers are on the cover of a triple-A sports title.
In addition, the game will feature a new in-game mechanic within ICE-Q Intelligence, which will revolutionize gameplay. The game will also feature revamped vision control and over 250 skating animations.
Lastly, according to Mike Straw, EA Sports will be using a release model similar to that of NHL 25 and EAFC 25. If fans pay $100, they can play the game on release day; however, if they spend $70, they can start playing a week later.
NHL 25 is set to have its official reveal on Thursday, August 22.
