NHL 24 coming this October

Electronic Arts has announced NHL 24, with Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar on the cover.

NHL 24 adds new mechanics like Sustained Pressure and Goalie Fatigue systems to let players experience concentrated moments of intensity that hockey is known for. Physics-Based Contact promises realistic body checks and new animation-based reactions. With the Goalie Fatigue System, the more pucks you put on net, the more fatigue the opponent’s goalie will experience. This will affect the netminder’s ability to react to shots as they wear down over time.

Within Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel, players can now play with and against players across same-generation Sony and Microsoft consoles. Updated Human Goalie Controls promise playing in goal more accessible and intuitive.

NHL 24 will include new HUT Moments, which lets players recreate and share classic moments in hockey history and today’s biggest plays. NHL 24 also introduces a new real-time objective-tracking system based on item types, teams, players, and on-ice actions, all while updating player progress in-game.

An update to EASHL Playoffs introduces an authentic, streamlined do-or-die 16-game path to the title, allowing players to earn Ranking Points as they make their way through the bracket. NHL 24 also introduces the WOC Battle Pass, which lets players earn items free and premium levels, and WOC Storefront.

The EA SPORTS NHL 24 X-Factor Edition includes three days of early access, 4600 NHL Points, exclusive Cale Makar player item, HUT Power-Up Icon of choice and WOC Battle Pass XP Modifier x5. Players can also get a pre-order loyalty offer to receive a 10% off pre-order of the NHL 24 X-Factor Edition.

Developed by EA Vancouver and EA Bucharest, EA SPORTS NHL 24 will be available on October 6, 2023 on PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
