Blood Bowl is the video game adaptation of Games Workshop's famous board game of the same name.
In development by Cyanide, the French studio who recently game us the RPG/action game “Loki†(a N°1 PC sales title in France and Germany), Blood Bowl is a game that is played out in the richly developed Warhammer fantasy universe.
Humans, elves, trolls, orcs and many other fantasy creatures face each other as they play this sport of extreme - a Fantasy Football game inspired by American Football.
Blood Bowl is a game with solid rules and all the characteristics of a ball game (passes, tackling, fumbles, touchdowns...) that provides an opportunity for real on-field strategy and tactics. Blood Bowl players are strongly affected by elements exterior to the game such as 'dirty trick' special plays, corrupt referees, and the use of spells and weapons – all of which take everyone very far away from traditional sports simulation games – much to the absolute joy of the players!
Blood Bowl can be played in real time like many other strategy games, but it can also be played turn-by-turn, which will surely delight fans of the tabletop game. The real time game is spectacular - intense battles between blocking linemen, daring displays of agility, powerful spells unleashed across the pitch and bone-crunching brutal tackles create an action-packed atmosphere. In the turn-by-turn version, the rules of the tabletop game are followed to the letter, so players who know the tabletop game will find themselves familiar with all the moves and possible strategies.
In solo play, Blood Bowl offers the player a solid campaign and a team to lead through a complete and intense Blood Bowl season – a team who will evolve according to their triumphs, their experience gained and the items won. In multiplayer, Blood Bowl coaches will be able to upgrade their best team in the white-hot online arenas and fight their way up to the top position in the official ranking.

good news!
Hopefully this mean the possibility we'll see a Gorkamorka or Necromunda game some day.
I was thinking of how cool a BB Wii game would be a few weeks ago. Namely chainsawing somebody in the face with a wiimote.
Thank god they cancelled that.
I could never get into FumBLL or whatever it's called. Looks like this will have the visceral appeal I need.
IOS Game Center ID: Isotope-X
or Battlefleet Gothic.
Low-res textures aside, I don't see anything wrong with that screenshot in principle.
There was already a game rather similar to Blood Bowl and as I recall it was ok.
I do want to jump up and down and cry awesome for this too though, I've been wanting to try Blood Bowl but never got round to buying anything to start and now I dont need to!
And yes most of the now "Specialist Games" would make awesome video games.
I don't know how the real time thing will pan out, but I'd really like to play the real, turn based game in glorious and brutal 3D.
Goddamn truth.
Also, oh shit, my pants! Those screens look awesome.
Movie!
BLOOOOOOOOODD BOOOWL. seriously though if theres a GW ip to run with its freaking Mordheim. Blood Bowl works for me too though. Keeping an eye on this for sure.
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
Was this Mutant League a Blizzard product?
No, EA.
But yeah, similar in concept to Mutant League, but an offshoot of the Warhammer world, so you get skaven, right proper orcs, and beastmen.
And a Necromunda game would be quite cool, especially if it was run on some sort of dedicated server that kept track of things.
Anyone want to beta read a paranormal mystery novella? Here's your chance.

The guys who made Chaos_League are the ones whom are now making Blood Bowl. Anyone know how Chaos League turned out? It was popular enough to spawn an expansion, so it has some faint hope going for it.
Also, apparently their rip-off was good enough to make GW decide to let them make the real thing.
Something that wasn't Space Hulk? Space Hulk was primitive, but awesome. Both games.
Space Hulk? I never got around to playing it, but nearly everyone says it was awesome.
Talios and I were just talking about bloodbowl the other day.
I wonder what this game will do to the FUMBBL crowd?
It didn't have the tactical intensity of the first (the "oh shit don't let them get behind you" part); you're right, you could get good enough with the power fist by the end to let your squad die and still carve through 'Stealers. What it had, though, was atmosphere. Because you only had control your own character, not the rest of the squad, I found it a lot more immersive. You'd hear gunfire a coridor away, then a scream, then silence... those tense moments of spinning about, waiting for Genestealers to leap out were pretty awesome.
I liked it.
No, if I'm remembering correctly they tend to yell out praises to the Emperor, or just shout in rage.
Think Conan (who yelled a lot when hacking people up or getting stabbed), not the Skywalker clan ("Nooo" and "That's impossible").
Good stuff, but I was talking about the first movie.
Which actually has nothing to do with this Blood Bowl game, for which I'm very happy to see that skaven will be included.
I loved Space Hulk, but the very first mission where you get promoted and have to order your squad about, and had the first appearance of the Chaos Marines, I could never, ever get past.
At the highest difficulty, I was punching out their lights from the first mission right up to the Chaos Marines. I remember doing an experiment as to how to actually die to the 'Stealers, and it was hard. There's a huge window for pressing the attack button and winning the fight.
well I've never watched the movie either
also skaven smell
But, uh, Blood Bowl guys.
Do we know anything about a platform yet? I didn't see it.
Did I mention that I'm so very very happy?
The publisher, Focus Home Interactive, doesn't look like they've ever published a console game before. Also, they're in Europe, which I think all the console manufacturers hate.
Apparently they had another game, Chaos League, which sounds kind of similar, but I've never heard of it before.
