Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks will be on the cover ofNHL 10— but not in all regions. EA Sports’NHLseries will,once again, feature country-specific covers for certain European nations, since hockey is such a global sport.
The trailer after the jump announces the international covers (the covers will only be different in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Switzerland). In Sweden, the Washington Capitals’ Nicklas Bäckström will be on the cover. The other Scandinavian country to get a special cover is Finland, where Mikko Koivu, the captain of the Minnesota Wild, will be the man on the box. The Phoenix Coyotes’ Mikkel Boedker is Danish, so he was chosen for the box art in Denmark. Finally, Swiss gamers will see Mark Streit of the New York Islanders on the cover in their home country.
This is the fourth (!) video ofNHL 10that has been released (there was also thedebut trailer, the video that announced Kane as the game’scover athlete, and another one that discussedgameplay additions and improvements).
