Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the special Blood Bowl update during the Slitherine Next showcase. We were excited to share what's next for the franchise, and we'd like to recap the biggest announcements for anyone who couldn't tune in live.
A new season is coming soon
A brand-new competitive season and a new Blood Pass will be launching very soon across all platforms.
This season will introduce a few improvements to the Arena matchmaking system, helping create a smoother and more balanced competitive experience.
Plus, we have amazing news for everyone who asked about being able to buy exclusive cosmetic items currently locked behind the Nuffle’s Specials system.
We'll be sharing more details as the launch of the new season approaches.
Welcome to Warhammer Blood Bowl
We're thrilled to officially announce Warhammer Blood Bowl, the next evolution of the official Blood Bowl video game.
The game is currently planned for release by the end of the year, and we'll be sharing much more over the coming months, including gameplay, feature reveals, and development updates.
Some of the features we've already revealed include:
Two new teams: Bretonnians and Tomb Kings
Rules have been upgraded to the latest version of the ruleset
A brand-new Rumble game mode
A free upgrade for all Blood Bowl 3 owners
All previously owned content will carry over into Warhammer Blood Bowl
And that's just the beginning, we can't wait to reveal even more in the months ahead.
Play the Demo after summer
Want to get your hands on the game early? A playable demo is planned for after the summer. We're currently completing the onboarding process before making it available, and we'll share more details as soon as we're ready.
World Championship update
We also have an update regarding this year's World Championship.
Rather than taking place in its usual September–December window, the next World Championship will run from December through February, aligning with the launch of Warhammer Blood Bowl and kicking off a new competitive season for the community.
We'll share more information about the tournament format and schedule closer to the event.
Missed the showcase?
If you missed yesterday's live showcase and would like to watch the interview with Mathieu Valero, Lead Engineer at Cyanide, you can find the full video below.
This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Blood Bowl. Whether you've been playing for years or are just joining the community, we're committed to building the best possible Blood Bowl experience together with Cyanide and Games Workshop.
Thank you for your continued support. We can't wait to share more with you in the months ahead.
See you on the pitch!
