When Will NHL 23 Be Available For Release?
The official release date for NHL 23 is October 14, and early access starts three days earlier, on October 11. The official Community Roadmap from EA gives all of the above dates. So far, EA has stuck to this plan.
In August, they showed a gameplay trailer, and in September, they went into more detail about how the game looks and how it works. Before putting the game out into the world, they will give an overview of HUT Live Content in October.
