The PC version of Cyanide Studios’ adaptation of classic Games Workshop board game Blood Bowl is less than a week away, and all eight fantasy football teams are raring to go.

After a bit of legal wrangling over Cyanide’s last fantasy football release, Chaos League, the developer and Games Workshop settled their differences, and Blood Bowl here is the result of their newfound friendship. The game features eight teams of fantasy football players – humans, orcs, dwarves, lizardmen, skaven, goblins, chaos, and wood elves – each bringing their own particular style and special moves to the field, either in real-time mode or the turn-based strategy mode, the latter of which emulates actual board game play.

They’re now accepting pre-orders for the game in advance to its June 26th release, so if you are so inclined, head over to the official website for more info.

Cyanide Studios’ video game version of the classic tabletop fantasy football game Blood Bowl has a brand new website chock full of game information, along with a sign-up page for the multiplayer PC beta test.

Of course when I say fantasy football, I am talking real fantasy football based in the Warhammer universe, with dwarves, orcs, lizardmen, and elves all fighting for control of the football battlefield. The official website for the game has just launched, filed with information on the playable races, videos, and screenshots like the one above, showing off the amazing amount of detail going into the game’s arenas.

With the launch of the website comes the launch of multiplayer beta sign-ups. The beta is kicking off soon, giving players a chance to take control of human and orc teams, giving the code a good thrashing before it’s finalised. Simply follow the link below and successfully navigate the shiny new web page to sign up.
