EA Sports NHL 22 will launch for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on October 15, 2021, publisher Electronic Arts has announced. The game will be powered by the Frostbite engine, offering unrivalled attention to detail, with Auston Matthews confirmed to return as the game’s cover star.
The latest entry in EA’s long-running hockey franchise will boast a number clear enhancements over its predecessor, including overhauled player likeness, cloth animations, and subtle details on uniforms, so that every stitch is visible in high resolution.
Spatial awareness has also been overhauled allowing players to track and react the world around them, and new physically accurate stick interactions make playing the game a more immersive experience.
Speaking on his involvement in NHL 22, Toronto Maple Leafs star Matthews commented:
I’m thrilled to be working with EA SPORTS again and returning…
