NHL 25 – NHL Arcade
NHL Arcade is hockey without all the rules! So let's throw out the hockey rulebook and embrace the wacky, no-holds-barred gameplay and endless excitement of classic arcade games, where giant-headed players can use outrageous power-ups that will have them flying across the rink to deliver head-spinning checks and score jaw-dropping goals.
NHL Frenzy will feature all of the power-ups from Arcade and Arcade+ and will now add brand-new Stadium Events featuring UFOs with special beams for teams to avoid and use to their advantage. Bonus rewards up for grabs include 100 Martian Pucks, 2X Player XP, and 2X Battle Pass XP. More details below:
- Abduction Beam: An overhead UFO will blast down a tractor beam onto the ice, and any players caught in the beam will be pulled out
- Laser Attack – The UFO will send down laser beams that zap and split the ice, leaving behind trails of fire that will take out any player passing through the area for a period of time
As a refresher, NHL Arcade is a limited-time 3-on-3 WoC event that brings back Big Heads in a modernized version of the fast-paced all-action arcade classic. Teams scramble to be the first to five goals with no glass, rules, or stoppages in the gameplay. All players have the same OVR rating and height/weight making power-ups and obstacles, which is the true difference maker. Players can team up with friends or jump into the game as solo skaters or their team's goalie.
