The M-rated arcade hockey game Old Time Hockey will launch on PlayStation 4 and PC on March 28, developer V7 Entertainment announced this week. The game comes to Xbox One in Q2 2017 (April-June), with a Nintendo Switch edition arriving "at a later date."

A new trailer was also released, showcasing the '70s vibe that it's going for. You'll notice some skaters don't have helmets and there are a lot of fights. It looks fun.

Old Time Hockey offers a variety of control options. You can use a "more modern style" or select a two-button scheme. There is also a "beer mode," which lets you play with one hand for obvious reasons.

Old Time Hockey supports local co-op, though there is no word on an online mode. Additionally, a "hijinks-filled" story mode has you competing as the worst team in the Bush Hockey League.
