Press release:
Lesquin, 22 June 2023.
Cyanide Studio and NACON are today very happy and excited to announce that the first season of “Blood Bowl 3” has just kicked-off! As a reminder, Blood Bowl 3 is available on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
With the start of the first season, players can now enjoy new features: the official Ladder, Blood Pass and a progression system where players can level up and unlock rewards as they gain experience. And, as a reward to our loyal player base, the Season 1 Blood Pass can be unlocked for free, giving players immediate access to the new Lizardmen faction.
In addition, a major feature much requested by the community and initially planned for Season 2 will now arrive during Season 1: players will be able to reconnect to their game for a limited time if they are disconnected.
The Lizardmen are also entering the game. If you are looking for brute force and a highly mobile team, this faction is for you! It is a fairly unusual faction because it includes strong and sturdy players as well as fast and mobile players. Although their passing game is probably not their biggest strength, Lizardmen certainly become more powerful with every match played and are an especially shrewd choice for experienced coaches!
