The timing is later than usual, but the first look at EA Sports’ NHL 21 will arrive Monday with the game’s official reveal trailer and likely the announcement of its cover star.

The upcoming iteration of EA’s annual hockey franchise was quietly announced last month in a letter published by series developer EA Vancouver, which gave players a heads up that the game had to be pushed out of its usual September launch window and into October because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The letter also confirmed the disappointing, but not entirely unexpected news that there will be no next-gen versions of NHL 21 for the launches of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in the fall. The current-gen PS4 and Xbox One versions, however, will be forward compatible with the new consoles.

While EA has already confirmed that NHL 21 will be releasing later in the season than NHL titles usually release, gamers won’t be able to get their hands on NHL 21 until October. This pushes the next ice hockey title from the Vancouver studio from a September release, but the reveal comes just in time for the start of the Stanley Cup Playoff’s second round. There won’t be a PS5 or Xbox Series X version for fans looking for a next-gen experience, but the PS4 and Xbox One versions will work on the next-gen consoles.

EA is also finally making a bigger push to rid the game of racist and overall offensive behavior in its online modes, but there’s still a ways to go on that front. The annual reveal trailers aren’t typically much more than one-minute long hype videos with short cuts of gameplay, but it’s usually enough for an eagle-eyed community to spot a few gameplay and presentation changes.
