NHL 2K8 Announced

Today, 2K Sports announced the latest installment of their popular NHL franchise with NHL 2K8. Scheduled to be released this fall, NHL 2K8 will use 2K Sports' NHL Signature Style system to highlight player characteristics, with revolutionary player models, improved visuals and innovative gameplay. The Signature Style will also be extended to marquee players, with branded equipment like skates, sticks, pads and helmets easily recognizable on these star players whenever they're on the ice.

According to Greg Thomas, the President of Visual Concepts, "Building on the success of NHL¿ 2K7, we have developed a title that is a truly accurate portrayal of the game and how it is meant to be seen and played. NHL 2K8 represents the complete next generation gaming experience and showcases the talent and experience of the development team. NHL 2K8 is an incredibly realistic hockey simulation and we are proud to create such an exciting video game."

NHL 2K8 will be available for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PlayStation 2. We'll have more on the game as soon as it becomes available.
