EA Sports has announced they’ll drop the puck on NHL 20 for the PS4 and Xbox One on September 13. The latest edition of the hockey simulation will feature Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs on the cover and a big emphasis on new shot types.
NHL 20 will also hop on the battle royale bandwagon with Eliminator Mode, which lets takes the popular NHL Ones and NHL Threes modes and lets up to 82 players compete against each other in a “survival tournament bracket.” Other new additions coming to the franchise are expanded options for Ultimate Team and World of CHEL, as well as improved goaltender AI, and a brand new broadcast-style presentation:
In NHL 20, your favorite NHL stars now look and feel more authentic with new Signature Shots and over 45 new shot types that make every attack a threat. A new broadcast package celebrates your biggest plays as you take on all-new game modes, including the new winner-take-all Eliminator Mode where you play solo or team up with friends to take down the competition.
More details about the new features coming to NHL 20 can be found at the game’s official website and an Announcement Trailer has been embedded above.
