Press release:
Lesquin, 5 July 2022.
Greetings, sports analysts! The third phase of the “Blood Bowl 3” beta came to an end on 12 June, and the feedback from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. Let’s take a look at a few stats from the beta, which saw an abundance of blood, sweat and tears, along with a heavy dose of stunning successes and failures.

The “Blood Bowl 3” third phase beta conclusions.

Nearly 11,000 coaches led their teams onto the pitches, with a total of 35,755 hours of game time. The coaches’ strategies led to 23,823 touchdowns, 2,668 completed passes, and 216,933 tackles were expertly dodged (though sometimes it was just blind luck).

Speaking of luck, a few coaches had less than their fair share: there were 752 dropped passes, and 26,884 (intentional) fouls were called by the referees – to the crowd’s evident displeasure. Dices do count, but by the end of the day, victory rewards no one but the best tactician!

“What about brutality” you’re asking? There were 224,194 injuries, 4,618 players left the pitch in a coffin and… 575 team-mates were hurled across several yards by Ogres, Trolls and Treemen. This is Blood Bowl after all.

Blood Bowl 3 will be waiting for you on 7 July at NACON Connect

Wackier, bloodier, and more spectacular than ever, Blood Bowl 3 is a hit with fans of the universe and strategy games alike. At launch, the game will include 12 teams each with their own pitch and cheerleaders, Solo and Multiplayer modes, and more customization options than any Blood Bowl game has offered before.

Blood Bowl 3 will be available on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch™ later in 2022.
