Press release:
Lesquin, 25 January 2022.
NACON and the development studio Cyanide are pleased to announce the start of a new closed beta phase for “Blood Bowl 3“. It will continue until 9am on Thursday, 3 February 2022.

This beta is only available to players who registered during the beta last June and is a chance for them to try out all the improvements added to the game over the last few months. With enhancements to the user interface, smoother gameplay and other improvements from user feedback, Cyanide has listened to the community to offer a Blood Bowl experience that more closely matches fans’ expectations.

Like in the previous beta, users can play with the Black Orcs, Imperial Nobility and Elven Union in tactical turn-based matches against other players (online and offline) or against the AI. Finally, a new team of bruisers arrives to show off their tenacity on the field: the Dwarfs.

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 each with their own pitch and cheerleaders, Campaign and Multiplayer modes, and more customization options than a Blood Bowl game has ever received before.

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