Teaser Trailer for NHL 18

Noticeably absent from this year’s EA Play/E3 will be NHL 18. While NHL has generally always had some presence in the mid-June events this time around EA Sports is holding back anything substantial until the NHL Awards on June 21. To keep from being completely forgotten with everything else happening the company released a teaser trailer that gives practically nothing away but does potentially hint at a more arcade slant coming to the franchise.

NHL 18 won’t be transitioning to Frostbite this year, which almost certainly means there won’t be the introduction of a story mode, however many of the anticipated new features leaked months ago. The game will likely have added a 3-on-3 arcade mode, expansion in Franchise, and for gameplay a Defensive Skill Stick and teammate AI improvements.
