NHL 18 is now playable on EA Access

EA Access subscribers now have another game trial to access, as the second of EA's annual sports franchises is just days away from dropping the puck. NHL 18 is now available to play as a 10-hour trial, in which subscribers get access to the full game plus its achievements, and can choose to purchase it at a 10% discount.

The game comes with a host of improvements and serves as the debut game for the all-new expansion franchise, the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Players will also be able to add a 32nd team of their choosing to the league in the game's Franchise Mode with a team creation suite that gives plenty of different options to choose from. Personally, I'm all for bringing back the Hartford Whalers or the Quebec Nordiques.

NHL 18 releases in full on Friday, September 15th on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
