Press release:
Lesquin, 26 May 2023.
Revealed as part of the Warhammer Skulls Showcase, Cyanide Studio and NACON shared new information on the first competitive season of “Blood Bowl 3“. Available on 22 June, 2023!

It will include new features, a Competitive Mode, a Blood Pass with 50 reward tiers, and a brand-new faction: the Lizardmen.

The Season 1 Blood Pass, which includes the Lizardmen and a range of cosmetic items, can be unlocked for free by all players during the season. As a reminder, Blood Bowl 3 is available on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

New features in Season 1
Players can look forward to new systems: an official Ladder, the Blood Pass, and a progression system that allows players to level up and unlock rewards. The Blood Pass will be unlockable for free and will grand players access to the new Lizardmen faction immediately.
Moreover, a major feature that was highly requested by the community will also be added during the season: allowing players to reconnect to their game for a limited time if they are disconnected.

Lizardmen overview
If you are looking for a fresh approach to the game, this faction is just what you need! Lizardmen are fairly unusual because they include strong and sturdy players as well as fast and agile players. Although their passing game is not the best out there, Lizardmen certainly become more powerful with experience and are an especially shrewd choice for experienced trainers!

Promotions until 1 June
Finally, as part of the Warhammer Skulls event, the game has promotions running on all platforms from today until 1 June.

About Blood Bowl 3:
Blood Bowl 3 is a turn-based strategy game inspired by American Football in the Warhammer Fantasy World where Elves, Humans, Orcs and other creatures fight for the ball with shoulder charges, kicks, punches and weapons of varying degrees of lethality… and legality. As the coach, you must give instructions to your players: hinder the progress of your opponents by positioning them in your tackle zone, knock down those who get in your way, and break through to your opponent’s end zone to score a touchdown.

What’s new in Blood Bowl 3:

Based on the official rules of the latest edition of the board game, including new skills and redesigned passing mechanics
12 factions to choose from, including the Black Orcs, Imperial Nobility, Old World Alliance and the Chaos Renegades for the first time in a Blood Bowl video game
Pitches with special game rules to add variety to your matches
New customization options for your coaches, cheerleaders, teams and every piece of your players’ armour
A single-player campaign available to all factions
An improved competitive mode with new league management features and an official ladder
A flexible timer to help organize training sessions between experienced players and beginners without constraints
