Additionally, with this update, we’ve introduced the Walter Cup tournament and new player skeletons for those just starting out.

As an ardent follower, I’m thrilled to share that Amy Scheer, the Senior Vice President of Business Operations at the PWHL, discussed their exciting partnership with EA SPORTS. In her words, “This partnership marks a significant step towards amplifying women’s hockey on all fronts.” She further explained that this alliance will foster unique in-game and off-field experiences that will fortify the connections between our teams, players, and fans. Ultimately, this collaboration brings the PWHL closer to the worldwide hockey community.

Andrea Hopelain, the GM & SVP of Publishing at EA Sports, was equally excited about the collaboration. “EA SPORTS is honored to back the PWHL, a trailblazer in the development of women’s hockey in North America,” she stated. “We are eager to collaborate and contribute towards the expansion and popularity of women’s hockey globally. This initiative begins by featuring PWHL teams and athletes in EA SPORTS NHL 25.

4 Nations Face-Off Content

To sum up, by the year 2025, the NHL 2025 edition will introduce four international teams for the 4 Nations Face-Off Round robin competition. You’ll have the opportunity to play alongside legendary players across several modes such as Play Now, Online Versus, Ultimate Team, Shootout, and a custom tournament mode. Furthermore, this update also brings the unique uniforms of each nation into the World of Chel.
