SEASONAL FACTION RELEASES

SEASON 1: LIZARDMEN


Lizardmen, renowned for their 8,000-year history in Blood Bowl, exemplify unparalleled team spirit and expertise from each caste on the pitch.

SEASON 2: UNDERWORLD DENIZENS


Underworld teams, fueled by warpstone and exotic mushrooms, consist of Goblins, Skavens, Trolls, Rat Ogres, and Snotlings, seeking revenge by humiliating the richest teams.

SEASON 3: SHAMBLING UNDEAD


Traditionalist necromancy teams feature elite thousand-year-old Mummies, Skeletons, Ghouls, and occasionally freshly risen Zombies stolen from opposing teams.

SEASON 4: WOOD ELF


Wood Elf teams, known for their dazzling performances and susceptibility to spectacular defeats, are incredibly popular for their superior gameplay and stunning presence.

SEASON 5: NECROMANTIC HORROR


Comprising reanimated zombies, resilient flesh golems, swift werewolves, and sinister wraiths, the Necromantic Horrors brings a unique blend of strength, speed, and dark magic to the pitch.

SEASON 6: HALFLINGS & GOBLINS


The first two pint-sized teams join the game. They may be small but they're certainly not harmless: the Halflings and Goblins have all the tools they need to turn the match in their favour and beat the odds.

SEASON 7: NORSE


The fierce Norse teams are masters of aggressive blocking and high-risk plays. Prepare your players for even more intense matches, where every confrontation could turn deadly. The Norse season brings the fury of the North directly on to the field!

Ruthless and frenzied, the Khorne teams unleash limitless violence on the pitch in the name of the Blood God. Their uncontrollable rage drives them to strike their opponents again and again, until the match is won, or there's nothing left standing on the field.

About the Game


Strap on your boots, don your helmet, adjust your shoulder guards and chest plate… and slip a sharpened dagger into your belt (discreetly).

Wars are no longer fought in the Old World since the populace decided to resolve their differences through a sport dedicated to the god Nuffle: Blood Bowl. However, just as much blood is shed in this sport as on the battlefields it replaced. Murder, mutilation, cheating, corruption, sorcery and even divine intervention are all fair game on the pitch, to the delight of every rabid fan!

  • Be merciless but not brainless – Take control of a team from 12 factions available, each with its own unique characteristics, and hobble the progress of your opponents by positioning your players wisely. Dodge or ruthlessly eliminate those who get in your way and reach the end zone to score decisive touchdowns! The cleverest strategists will obviously have the advantage, but will that be enough? An out-of-control troll could devour a team-mate and change the course of the match.

  • You're the boss – Create players; customize their appearance, emblems and armour; recruit cheerleaders and your coach; then compete in the fiercest competitions in the Old World. But be warned: injuries are common and there's a strong possibility that some of your players will leave the pitch feet first, putting a permanent end to their career…

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


Factions available at launch: The Orcs, The Humans, The Dark Elves, The Dwarves, The Skaven, The Chaos Chosen, The Elven Union, The Nurgle, The Imperial Nobility, The Black Orcs, The Old World Alliance and The Chaos Renegades.

The brand-new solo campaign



An agent has spotted your coaching achievements on the pitch and has decided to pay for you and your team to participate in a brand-new Blood Bowl event: the Clash of Sponsors. Can you destroy your opponents and make the crowd dream?

  • Compete against the most successful sponsor teams in the Old World
  • Pit yourself against star players who have become brand ambassadors, including the legendary Griff Oberwald
  • Play with your choice of faction and use this team in all other game modes

Competitive modes with limitless possibilities



As well as the campaign and friendly matches against other players or the AI, Blood Bowl 3 has an all-new competitive mode in which you can compete against other players of all levels and from all over the world:

  • Competitive seasons with an official ladder
  • A league system available to players, with new management options and the ability to create your own custom tournaments with your preferred settings (stadiums, pitches, timer, factions…)
  • Regular challenges via temporary game modes

Just stick to BB2 the developers got insanely greedy and now charge for every little customization item and every team is $10. Beyond that day 1 bugs still happen and make you concede matches you were about to win. Eternal league is also a huge let down when it was so much better in BB2. In short: Don't give a cent to these people until they make some changes to their monetization method

Horrible monetization decisions instantly threw me off. Want to play as your fav team? Sure buy a battlepass and grind for this shit. Oh I forgot to mention it's time limited. They don't even sell DLCs anymore. I don't know if they understand who (mostly) plays Warhammer and BB in particular. The answer is 30-35+ aged men. They don't have time no more to grind for sht in video games about their favourite [u]TABLETOP!!!![/u] It's not Fortnite And oh... by the way I COULD'T CONNECT TO THE SERVERS AFTER PURCHASING THIS GAME!!! Had to work around this bullshit All in all: worst BloodBowl game ever. I don't even want to try and play it due to how horrible progression looks. Totally not recommended. Don't waste your time and money. It's sad

I had a lot of fun with Blood Bowl 2 in spite of all the problems I had with it. How bad could this game be? I got a bug on the very first match I tried to play, which prevented it from continuing. This was reported over a month ago and 'should be patched next week', which is three weeks ago. Perhaps I should have listened to all the negative reviews.

This is a huge downgrade compared to the previous game. In the previous game you could see the mutations on your characters (like the additional head, or having a tail), with this your character looks exactly the same. There are some improvements but blood bowl 2 was way better and I keep finding myself drawn to that compared to this.

It unfortunately feels like 1 step forward and 3 steps back. Where every cool new feature comes with a drawbacks. It is also unfortunately still buggy as well, with turns randomly ending, blitz blocks being canceled by the dump off skill, balls glitching out and ending up invisible, AI turns freezing up and never ending and leaving the match auto loses it for you.

This is the game we point to when we need an example of monetization gone too far. Excessively greedy game. I guess I would have a good time if I was a millionaire but then I would just play gachas or something because money will actually improve my playing experience there.

Frustrating UI, I mainly play table top so getting used to online is a learning curve. If you are new to blood bowl as a whole the game is risk mitigation disguised as gambling. Its a steep learning curve, but one of the most fun rabbit holes you can go down.

DON'T BUY THIS BLOOD BOWL!! If you want to play Blood Bowl, get Blood Bowl 2 instead. It is a better game in every way except for graphics. Both games have basically the exact same teams, except you can also mix teams in Blood Bowl 2. Blood Bowl 2's DLC teams are half the price of Blood Bowl 3's. I wish I refunded this game back when it came out, but I thought it would get better over time. I was very wrong.

It's not perfect, but if you can't get to a tabletop it sure scratches that itch! Great for trying out new teams that you're interested in playing on the tabletop too! I just hope they add the few remaining teams that are left.
