Puckoff: Reloaded, a story-driven hockey game from a five-person Finnish development team, launches today on Xbox Series X|S. The creators drew inspiration from childhood memories of playing hockey on frozen outdoor ponds and rinks in Finland.
The game expands how a hockey match can be won. Beyond scoring goals, players can set up teammates, make perfect passes, or knock opponents out, with fighting treated as part of the sport's underground culture rather than a separate activity.
Between matches, a visual-novel-inspired presentation tells a larger story. The narrative follows a search for Dominator, an underground hockey legend who has never lost a game, with the goal of finding him and eventually playing alongside him.
The journey leads to the Cage, where boss matches feature dangerous opponents with distinct identities, abilities, and play styles. These encounters differ from ordinary games by focusing on specific characters instead of simply outscoring a team.
The five-person team describes Puckoff: Reloaded as the beginning of an effort to make story-driven hockey games where players remember the characters as much as the matches.
