14 DAY TRIAL // Good news for fans of the Blood Bowl series, as publisher Nacon and developer Cyanide Studios, have just revealed the third installment in the franchise will be coming to PC and consoles in August 2021.
Unfortunately, that means that players must wait six more months for the game, which was promised to arrive in early 2021. On the bright side, we now know when Blood Bowl 3 is expected to be released.
According to Cyanide, the upcoming game should be “funnier, bloodier, and more spectacular than ever.” Blood Bowl 3 combines elements of sports and strategy, a mix that fans of the universe are already accustomed to.
It looks like the game will include 12 teams at launch, each with its own pitch and cheerleaders. Also, campaign and multiplayer modes will be included too, along with more customization options than any previous Blood Bowl game.
Blood Bowl 3 is set to arrive on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, so the game should be available on just about any popular gaming platform at the same time.
For newcomers to the universe, Blood Bowl is a fantasy football title that plays like a turn-based strategy game. It's inspired by American football in the Warhammer universe fantasy world, so expect to meet races like elves, orcs, humans, and other creatures that will fight for the ball with shoulder charges, kicks, punches, and weapons.
You step into the shoes of a coach and must offer instructions to your players. All units can gain experience and receive statistic bonuses or new skills. However, you'll have to be careful how you position your players as some may leave the field limp and lifeless.
PC players can now wishlist Blood Bowl 3 on Steam before the game launches in August. We'll keep you in the loop once we have more details about the game's exact release date.
