With NHL 25 news beginning to come out as of today, EA also announced the schedule for when details about features and game modes will be happening in the lead up to the October 4 release date.
We’ll detail that roadmap below. Also, a reminder that NHL 25 will only be coming out for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
NHL 25 Roadmap
- Late August: Gameplay deep dive
- We started getting info about gameplay today. I assume we’ll get a deeper look at gameplay via some sort of developer blog.
- Early September: Presentation deep dive
- There will be a Grudge Match system that tracks the history of matchups between teams across all major offline and online modes, and also incorporates special X-Factors that are earned based on prior match-ups. We don’t know the details about how all that will work as of now.
- Beyond that, there should be more info about the visual upgrades via Sapien Technology.
- Mid-September: Franchise mode deep dive
- Franchise mode is getting a new hub page that should help streamline navigation and give us access to more important info.
- Various community-requested features are also being added, but we don’t know what those are as of yet.
- Late September: HUT deep dive
- Wildcard mode is being added (not sure what that is yet)
- There will be a new World of Chel live event structure (I believe this relates to the competitive scene)
- There will be one singular path for XP progression that is shared across HUT
