Press release:
Lesquin, 13 November 2020.
NACON and Cyanide are pleased to announce that a closed beta for “Blood Bowl 3” will launch in early 2021.

This announcement accompanies the Games Workshop one informing players that they will receive access to the Blood Bowl 3 beta if they pre-order the new edition of the board game.

Access to the Blood Bowl 3 closed beta will be possible in several ways. As well as pre-ordering the board game, other ways to access the beta will be revealed later along with more details on the dates and game content.

Funnier, bloodier and more spectacular than ever, Blood Bowl 3 will be a hit with fans of the universe and strategy games alike.

At launch, the game will include 12 teams with their own pitch and cheerleaders, Campaign and Multiplayer modes, and more customisation options than a Blood Bowl game has ever received before.

Planned for release in 2021, the game will be available on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Steam and Nintendo Switch™.
