NHL 22 announced

Annual hockey title switches engines, coming to new gen consoles

Posted on

Electronic Arts has announced EA SPORTS NHL 22, coming on October 15.

The game is now powered by the Frostbite engine, and Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews returns to the EA SPORTS NHL cover in NHL 22.

For the first time ever, the Frostbite engine comes to the EA SPORTS NHL franchise. Players will be brought to life via overhauled player likeness, cloth animations and uniform micro-details, all delivered in higher resolution. Alongside these advancements will come enhanced spatial awareness for players to track and react to the world around them. On-ice gameplay will see an upgrade as well with new physically accurate stick interactions.

The game also includes the introduction of Superstar X-Factors, a system that unleashes unique abilities for the best players in the game, with traits inspired by their individual real-world skills. Superstar X-Factors bring two key elements to help elevate hockey’s elite and break them away from the pack: Zone Abilities and Superstar Abilities. Superstar X-Factors not only bring new facets to gameplay but also add new dimensions to Franchise Mode, Be A Pro, Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel.

In the coming weeks more will be shared on the World of CHEL, Hockey Ultimate Team, Be A Pro and Franchise modes, as well as some long-requested community features.

NHL 22 will be available on October 15, 2021 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
