<p>While hockey video game fans await the worldwide launch of <strong><em><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/NHL-21-Standard-Edition/9MXV1BTS8VVV">EA Sports NHL 21</a></em></strong> on October 15, EA Sports has announced another all-new NHL game. Well, not <em>exactly</em> all new. Players who pre-order <em>NHL 21</em> from the Microsoft Store for Xbox will also receive a copy of <em>NHL 94 Rewind</em>, a game that uses the controls and graphics of the classic <em>NHL 94</em>, combined with teams and rosters from the present day NHL.</p>
<p>The cover athlete of <em>NHL 21</em>, Alexander Ovechkin, appears on the cover of <em>NHL 94 Rewind</em> too — although in 8-bit (complete with missing tooth pixel). He’s just one of hundreds of players who will be transported back in time with <em>NHL 94 Rewind</em>. Last year’s cover athlete, Auston Matthews, wouldn’t be born until four years after the release of the original <em>NHL 94</em>.</p>
