Fall is here so sports are on the television for us to watch and to play, people are playing Cyberpunk 2077, a full trailer for The Last of Us.
EA Sports FIFA and NHL games get annual updates
FIFA 23 hits game systems on Friday and NHL 23 arrives on October 14, a week after the professional hockey league season opens. And along with the usual updates to the sports simulations, EA Sports has some special things lined up for fans of the games.
Musqueam culture featured in FIFA 23
Artists from the Musqueam Indigenous community in B.C. have created clothing, kits, and a stadium that are featured in FIFA 23.
Volta Football Pitch is a representation of the real Musqueam stadium in the ancestral and unceded territory where Vancouver is located.
Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond appear in FIFA 23
The popular Apple TV+ character Ted Lasso, played by Jason Sudeikis, is also appearing in FIFA 23 as a playable manager in the game’s career mode. And the AFC Richmond players, including Roy Kent, Jamie Tartt, Sam Obisanya, and Dani Rojas, also appear for fans to field.
NHL 23 launches on October 14
With Canadian phenom Sarah Nurse on the cover – the first time a female player has been on the box – NHL 23 is all in on featuring women in the game.
Canada’s Marie-Philip Poulin is the top ranked player from the IIHF Women’s National Teams with a rating of 94. That compares to Connor McDavid’s 95, which tops the list of active NHL players. (Here’s the full ratings list.)
And when you’re creating your own teams, you can mix and match female and male players to create the best team possible regardless of gender.
One of the new features in NHL 23 is what the developers are calling, “Last chance puck movement,” which is about players being able to make final plays with the puck while they’re falling or otherwise being taken out of the play. Think of it as the Bobby Orr feature.
Cyberpunk 2077’s new life
The Netflix animated series, Edgerunners, set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, has sparked a resurgence of interest in the game developed and published by CD Projekt Red in December of 2020.
This can happen, in part, because of how many copies of the game were sold before it was even released.
Over 20 million cyberpunks have been roaming the streets of Night City – partying with Jackie and getting to know Johnny, driving around with Panam and diving with Judy, hanging out with River and listening to Kerry’s songs.

We also get a quick glimpse at one of the humans infected by the Cordyceps fungus.
