One day after unveiling the cover for NHL 23 featuring Trevor Zegras and Sarah Nurse, EA Sports released the trailer and details for the new game.

The biggest detail is that for the first-time in the history of the EA Sports NHL franchise, gamers will be able to play over cross-platform. If you have Xbox One and your friend has a PS4, you'll be able to play an online match against each other, same with Xbox Series X|S and PS5.

"Cross-platform matchmaking is coming to NHL 23 in an update later this year! Face off with players on the same console generation in Ultimate Team™ and World of Chel. More players mean shorter queue times, so you can hit the ice with less downtime."

Also for the first time, gamers in Hockey Ultimate Team will be able to use IIHF Women's National Team members and can be added to any roster.

"IIHF Women's National Team members are now in HUT and can be added to any roster for a true dream team experience. HUT Rivals Playlist brings a rotating series of Rivals game modes. Plus, unlock three more rewards tiers based on Win or Win Streaks."

Users will have more control in Franchise Mode in NHL 23 than any year before. You'll be to change how many teams are in your league, how many games are in each playoff series, as well as other changes that will impact your organization.

"Control every detail of your league. Tweak the organization and how many teams are in your league, as well as the number of games at every stage including the playoffs. Plus, control the min/max salary cap and individual player salaries."

In-game atmosphere is getting an upgrade to make it seem like you're actually in an NHL arena. Another note, as for the Arizona Coyotes, they won't be playing in Mullett Arena, but EA Sports have made a smaller-capacity rink to accurately reflect their current arena situation.

EA Sports NHL 23 will be released worldwide on Friday, October 14th. You can pre-order the game on by clicking the link in the Tweet below.
