Welcome to the next generation of hockey.
NHL 22 will make the shift to EA’s Frostbite engine, a page found on EA’s own website has proclaimed.
The page was first spotted by Reddit and is still live as of the time of writing.
“Powered by Frostbite, EA SPORTS NHL 22 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S gets the superstar treatment,” reads the website.
“For the first time ever, experience EA SPORTS NHL on one of the industry’s most powerful game engines bringing unrivaled visual detail to every hit, deke and shot.”
The site also let slip other new in-game features.
“Superstar X-Factors lets you feel the personality and power of NHL superstars with an all-new ability system that unlocks the unique skills of the league’s most elite players,” the page continued. “Authentic to real player skill and style, the stars of the NHL truly come to life in EA SPORTS NHL 22 making their time on ice more influential than ever.
“From HUT to World of Chel, Superstar X-Factors brings new class based strategy to every game mode. EA SPORTS NHL 22 is an all new game for a new generation, giving you more ways to play and compete than ever before. This is breakthrough hockey.”
A full NHL 22 reveal is slated for 1.00 am AEST on 20 August; we’ll likely have more for you then. In the meantime, we’ve asked EA for comment.
