- Many of you have been waiting for news regarding the new season for Blood Bowl 3 - 15 September 2026
Unfortunately, we’ve had a technical issue related to the transferral of the Blood Bowl 3 page on Xbox from Nacon to the new publisher, Slitherine. We’re working with Nacon and Microsoft to find a quick solution, but until the page hasn’t been transferred we will be unable to update the game to the new season on Xbox, and thus unable to release the update since it needs to happen concurrently on all platforms.Hopefully this will be solved very soon. We commit to keeping you posted, as soon as this is fixed we will then be able to proceed and release the new season.We are also aware that in the past communication has been sluggish and sometimes very infrequent.

- The new Warhammer Blood Bowl published by Slitherine will be out in fall, and I'm looking forward to it because I enjoy pain I guess - 22 July 2026
t this point being into the digital versions of Blood Bowl is basically masochism. In the 1990s MicroLeague published a version that was so cheap and nasty I said , "to call it barebones would be an insult to skeletons." Cyanide picked up the licence after that, releasing two decent adaptations whose DLC model was controversial at the time but seems blessedly sensible compared to Blood Bowl 3, a live-service seasonal microtransaction confusatron that's basically a poster child for "look how they massacred my boy" memes...
