Blood Bowl 3 is being replaced by Warhammer Blood Bowl: What will happen to everyone's unspent currency?
Should you spend it now, or can you safely keep it in the bank?
Blood Bowl 3, the latest videogame adaptation of Games Workshop's tabletop game featuring fantasy football, has introduced an in-game shop where players can purchase cosmetics and new teams using a currency called Warpstone. The upcoming replacement for Blood Bowl 3, titled Warhammer Blood Bowl, is currently in beta and will be published by Slitherine instead of the previous publisher Focus Home Interactive.
Slitherine has assured owners of Blood Bowl 3 that they will receive Warhammer Blood Bowl at no cost, with their accounts transferring seamlessly over. However, the way new teams will be unlocked differs between the two games. Players are unsure whether to spend their existing Warpstone or use it all before Warhammer Blood Bowl launches later this year.
A Slitherine representative clarified that players will retain their cosmetics, Warpstone, and teams from Blood Bowl 3 in Warhammer Blood Bowl, but the handling of additional teams is still under consideration. The representative also mentioned that Warhammer Blood Bowl will still utilize Warpstone for cosmetic purchases, and they are still contemplating how to address team acquisition.
The beta version of Warhammer Blood Bowl is currently being playtested on Steam, and interested players can request access through the game's "Request Access" button. Early testers have praised the improved quality-of-life features, such as the option to save and quit mid-match, as well as the new seven-a-side Rumble Mode for those who prefer a more compact game.
Additionally, Warhammer Blood Bowl introduces an icon in the UI that displays the effects of current weather conditions, adding a subtle yet appreciated touch.
