Blood Bowl returns with a third title in the series, incorporating the latest rules from Games Workshop's popular tabletop miniatures game set in the Warhammer universe.
An alternate timeline when war has moved from the battlefield to the gridiron, Blood Bowl pits the fantasy races of Warhammer against each other in one of the most violent games of football ever imagined. Think NFL, with more blood and gore. The game has been delayed a few times, but thankfully, we have a good overview of what to expect from the developers at Cyanide Studio. For now though, here's everything you need to know about Blood Bowl 3.

Blood Bowl 3 release date
After months of speculation, we finally have a confirmed release date for Blood Bowl 3. It'll officially land on February 23, 2023.
Blood Bowl 3 was originally intended for release in August 2021 but in June 2021 this was pushed back to February 2022. However, the game’s release date was pushed even further back in November 2021, with the game publisher Nacon citing development issues caused by the ongoing pandemic.
In a statement Nacon told fans:
“The pandemic has impacted production times, and these new dates will allow our development teams to give their fans polished games without compromising on our quality targets."
Blood Bowl 3 trailers
A variety of trailers have been revealed for the game thus far. We've included some of the most significant trailers, just below, starting with the original cinematic reveal trailer released at Gamescom 2020:

There is a fully-featured customization system for players to modify their team and characters, and Blood Bowl 3 will continue to capture the wacky and humorous tone of the series.
All this takes place with turn-based tactical mechanics, allowing Blood Bowl players to not only play hard but play smart as well.
Platforms
Blood Bowl 3 will be available on the PC through Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. It seems any potential Nintendo Switch version has since been cancelled, as that platform is no longer listed.
