EA Sports unveils NHL 25 cover featuring rising NHL star

In a surprising twist that has hockey fans buzzing, EA Sports inadvertently unveiled the cover of the much-anticipated NHL 25 game a tad too early.

The cover features the renowned Hughes brothers-Quinn, Jack, and Luke-marking a rare occurrence in the game's history.

This accidental reveal has not only stirred excitement but also brought back memories of iconic covers from the past.

According to Noah Strang of Daily Hive, the reveal trailer briefly appeared on YouTube before being swiftly removed.

Despite its short-lived presence, it was enough for eagle-eyed fans to capture a glimpse of the Hughes brothers together on the cover.

This incident has sparked considerable chatter and anticipation in the gaming and hockey communities.

This year's cover is historic, as it's the first time since 1993 that three players have been featured together, and the first instance since 2011 of brothers gracing the cover.

The last time siblings appeared on an NHL game cover was when the Sedin twins were showcased on NHL 11.

The reveal has set the stage for the official launch details expected next week, with EA Sports scheduling the release of the official trailer on Thursday, August 22nd, at 11 am ET.

The premature reveal has certainly served as an unexpected kickoff to the NHL 25's marketing campaign, promising an exciting buildup to the official release.

The gaming world is now keenly awaiting further details from EA Sports, hoping for a game that matches the excitement its cover has already generated.
