Press release:
Lesquin, France – 24 March 2023.
Cyanide Studio and NACON have announced information about new updates and content coming to “Blood Bowl 3” via a major patch, now available on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Since the game’s launch last month, the studio and publisher have been inundated with passionate responses from the community, including note of certain technical problems and concerns about the monetisation system. Based on this feedback, numerous changes have already been announced and implemented to improve the game and to correct these issues.

Blood Bowl 3 was designed to be a long-term, supported experience, with new content, features and competitive events to be added to the game on a regular basis. In addition, the developers are well aware that the game’s foundations and the quality of the gameplay are essential. The new patch, released today, is a response to one major concern players voiced about the game’s monetisation system: from now on, all Common,

Rare and Epic equipment that is unlocked through purchase or in-game reward will be available for unlimited use by the different teams, for characters playing the same positions. It will no longer be necessary to purchase several helmets or shoulder pads to equip other players in the same position. Players who have purchased the same piece of equipment several times (now with unlimited use) will be reimbursed in Warpstone, the Blood Bowl 3 in-game currency.

Of course, throughout the pre-season, which will last until the start of Season 1 in May, the development teams will continue to improve the playing experience based on the community’s expectations and feedback. Special attention will be paid to preparing the competitive season (rankings, matchmaking system, admin tools, etc.), and during the pre-season patches will be released to make all required corrections.

Furthermore, to compensate for any problems encountered at launch, the Season 1 Blood Pass, which gives access to a new faction, additional features and 50 reward levels, can be unlocked for free by all players.

Finally, the teams would like to give special thanks to the members of the Blood Bowl community for their feedback, unswerving support, and patience throughout the development of all the changes and planned updates.

Blood Bowl 3 is available now on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The Nintendo SwitchTM version will be released later.
