EA Sports Announces NHL 24 with New Features and Release Date

EA Sports has just released the highly anticipated NHL 24 trailer, unveiling the latest installment in the popular hockey video game series. Fans were excited to not only get a sneak peek but also learn the official release date.

NHL 24 Will Include Two New Upgraded Systems

Mark your calendars as NHL 24 is set to hit the shelves on October 6, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The brand-new trailer showcases in-depth gameplay footage and reveals the return of some beloved game modes from last year.

Most notably, NHL 24 will introduce a cutting-edge engine called the Exhaust Engine, powered by Frostbite. This engine comes equipped with new systems specifically designed for the NHL franchise. One of these systems is the goalie fatigue system, which realistically affects a goalie’s ability to react to shots as their tiredness increases. Additionally, players can take advantage of the new Sustained Pressure System, allowing for more offensive opportunities by ramping up the pace of the game on the ice.

According to EA Sports’ press release, the Exhaust Engine brings a complete overhaul to the EA Sports NHL gameplay experience. Players can expect gameplay tweaks that enhance offensive strategies and increase the time spent in the attack zone, creating a more immersive and realistic on-ice encounter.

Beloved Game Modes Return with Updates

NHL 24 will not just introduce new features, but it will also bring back fan-favorite game modes, including Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel. Hockey Ultimate Team, in particular, will receive an update that streamlines objective tracking and task management to improve the overall user experience.

Early Access for EA Play Members

For eager players who can’t wait to lace up their virtual skates, EA Sports has exciting news. EA Play members will enjoy three days of early access to NHL 24, allowing them to dive into the game before the official release date. Additionally, exclusive member-only rewards will be available throughout the season, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
