@TTZ_DipsyTo sum this up easy. No, it won’t, no point in even saying wait to the reveal.
I’ll tell you why, to put it as simple as possible. Its simply not worth it, when it comes to sports titles outside of racing its not worth doing, there simply isn’t a market, or there lack of. Its why it was removed in the first place and seriously, nothing has changed at all. They’d be spending more money on resources for PC and it wont make their money back.
Its a business decision and until sports picks up on pc it’ll remain that way.
Having NHL on pc is the least requested thing or responded to thing by the community out of everything. Fact is those who buy any sports title has a console as is and therefore the game is accessible to them. This also eliminates unfair cross platform advantages that PC would obviously get and since the market is small it would have to have cross platform to survive otherwise you’d barely get any online games, and if you did i dare say you’d get a server thats lagging and queue times would be insane.
So no, its not.
It is what it is, once people accept this the sooner the better, its always the same small people who keep asking every year. Its the definition of insane, trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Why is it they still release just about all other sports on PC? There is Madden NFL23 , NBA 2K23, etc. Why not PC?

Because those games are vastly more popular to warrant it
Because they’re much more popular than nhl. Nhl doesn’t even sell well on console. Games like FIFA madden and nba sell more copies on day 1 than nhl will the whole year.
I'm not sure why people keep bringing up money as an issue. We are talking about a BILLION dollar company that probably 1000x their money every release. Even if they sell it at a loss every year, the money that they make from MUT, FUT, & HUT packs across all 3 major platforms would more than justify a release. Add in the addition of crossplay and the game wouldnt be so dead even on consoles every year.
- @jmawnee I personally have no idea how much NHL would make putting it on pc, I also dunno what all it takes porting it there/ ensuring players don't hack anything.. all that being said EA does not invest much at all into developing their titles. This is why they lost to 2k in basketball and keep the NFL license to ensure a company can't make a good football game. Without competition they are not gonna put many resources into developing the game..
