Pick up a controller and you're playing in seconds. Stick around and there's always another trick to learn. Fast skating, big hits and a puck with a mind of its own. Grab a friend (or three) and drop the biscuit.
Here's a first look. Volume up.
Wind up, build speed and lean into the turns. Go too fast and you'll swing wide. Slam on the brakes and the snow flies. It's fun even with nobody else on the ice.
It isn't stuck to your stick. It bounces, rolls and wobbles like a real puck. Passes get picked off, rebounds pop loose, and how you swing decides the shot: a big slapper, a quick snap or a sneaky wrister.
Line someone up and lay them out. Players stumble, spin and crash to the ice, then get back up. Every so often the glass shatters, or someone tumbles right into the bench.
New to hockey games? Play Hybrid: one button to shoot, one to pass. Want more? Switch to Total Control and shoot with the right stick. Turn the help up while you learn, and down as you get good.
Somebody took a cheap shot? After the whistle, settle it. Jab, grab, throw a special move and finish them with one button. Or skip the hockey and play a whole night of fights.
Up to four people on one screen, on the same team or against each other. Plug in a controller any time to jump in. Friends far away? Start an online game and send them the code.
Icing, offside, penalties and penalty shots. Or switch them off and just play.
Three lines that get tired. Send out a fresh one, or let the coach do it for you.
Goals and big hits play again on their own. Rewind and watch them as often as you like.
Tied after overtime? It's a shootout. Or jump straight into one from the main menu.
Take over in net. Make the save, smother the puck, then fire it up the ice.
Add new team sets that friends share with you, right from the menu.
Welcome to the Blades & Biscuits Hockey League, where every team is named after food. Cheer on the Maple Loafs or the Pie-guins, each with its own logo and jerseys, and players with names you'll *almost* recognise.
We're still putting on the finishing touches. Here's where you'll find it soon.
It already runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, Steam Deck, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android and in your web browser. We'd love to bring it to consoles too.
Yes! Up to four of you on one screen, on the same team or against each other. You can play online with a join code too.
A controller is the most fun (Xbox, PlayStation and Switch controllers all work). You can also play with a keyboard, or with touch controls on a phone or tablet.
It's hockey slang for the puck. And “blades”? Those are your skates and your stick.
