Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr is now a free playable character in EA Sports NHL 24.
Following the launch of NHL 24 on Oct. 6, EA Sports is proud to announce that as of Thursday, the highly requested legendary defenceman is now available for all NHL 24 players who log in before Jan. 2, 2024.
Widely regarded as the best defenceman in NHL history, this marks the first time Orr will appear in the EA Sports NHL franchise. Orr will be a part of the Boston Bruins alumni team and is tied with Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky as the highest-rated player in the game, at 97 Overall.
Orr, 75, spent the best years of his legendary career playing in Boston for the Bruins. Throughout his 10 seasons, he revolutionized how hockey was played with an electric two-way game defined by his rapid acceleration and open-ice artistry.
The Parry Sound, Ont., native helped the Bruins win two Stanley Cups, in 1970 and 1972, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy both seasons as playoff MVP. Orr finished his career with 264 goals in 631 games and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979.
Orr was named to the All-Centennial Team in October and, to celebrate, NHL 24 players can play as the Hall of Famer in-game, claim Bruins uniforms in the store, as well as expect additional Orr-themed content updates in the HUT, HUT Moments, World of Chel, Play Now and Franchise modes.
The following will be available for all players who log in before Jan. 2:
