Warhammer Blood Bowl has been delayed into early 2027
One more turn.
Slitherine, the developer behind Warhammer Blood Bowl, has announced that the popular fantasy football game will be delayed until early 2027. The initial release date of 2026 has been scrapped following feedback from playtest sessions and the need for further polishing. Slitherine's team emphasized that disappointing fans is not an option and acknowledged the ongoing playtest, which now includes an Arena mode where players aim to complete 10 matches consecutively without losing or being forced into a draw more than twice.
The game will be played using a resurrection format, ensuring teams start each match with a fresh roster. Additionally, Slitherine confirmed that two new factions, the Tomb Kings and Bretonnians, will be added to the base game for free. Owners of Blood Bowl 3 will receive an upgraded version of Warhammer Blood Bowl at no additional cost and retain access to any purchased teams and cosmetics.
