With Blood Bowl 3, the crowds have been completely overhauled to make them feel much more lively.Īll the people in the crowds of Blood Bowl aren’t completely unique, but the game disguises that ‘flaw’ by having waving pennants, extra statuary, water features and cooking fires spread around the stadium, making it feel much more exciting. The crowds in that game had only 4 distinct character models, meaning that the entire crowed was filled with the same four people. Take the crowds from Blood Bowl 2 for example.
With Blood Bowl 3, all these kinks have been ironed out from the franchise and a bunch of new mechanics and features have been introduced.
BLOOD BOWL 3 NEW FEATURES SERIES
The highlight is customisation, especially of the in-match UI, because that will allow players to tailor their games to their preferred settings and will hopefully keep the majority of players happy if they’re willing to tinker.Blood Bowl 3 is the latest installment in Cyanide’s beloved Blood Bowl series and it brings a lot of new features that Blood Bowl players have never seen before.īlood Bowl 2 was a reasonably polished game itself, but it had quite a few kinks that were noticeable enough for players to point it.
But the studio seems to have taken the community’s feedback on board (“constructive criticism,” as Brésard generously calls it), and the game looks much better for it. I haven’t even touched on single-player (the majority of players probably won’t either) or Brésard’s hopes that Cyanide will add more teams as time goes on (he wouldn’t give me even a hint as to whether my loyal Norse warriors would be taking to the digital pitch). The real test of this will be when players are populating the servers and setting up their own competitions – that’s what’s kept the Blood Bowl community alive for so many years – but I’m currently optimistic.
On the other end of the spectrum, players wanting to join can search for a league by name, or set their parameters to narrow down their search. You can select the number of participants, the style of tournament, and a host of other options to create the perfect competition. The final thing to note is the competitions Blood Bowl 3 has a robust system for organising and joining tournaments. Your players will be slipping on the ice of the frozen pitches, and Brésard even explained to me how a kraken’s tentacles emerge around the perimeter of the Dark Elf pitch to add some Hollywood excitement to proceedings.
And yes, the different pitches come with different special rules akin to those in the tabletop version. Pitches, stands, coaches, cheerleaders, balls, emotes, and everything else that you could possibly need to aid your team are also customisable, with unique options for all races (Black Orcs, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, Imperial Nobility, Dark Elf, Dwarfs, Elven Union, Humans, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Orcs, and Skaven). If you still don’t like it, you can probably turn it off anyway. The double dice rolls - which showed a pair of dice rolling, but had you click on a different pair of dice to choose the result - has thankfully been removed, and the chat function in the bottom left corner of the screen is now much less intrusive. The cluttered UI in matches has been pared back, and is much less confusing, but players also have the option to turn basically every menu or icon on or off at will.

Customisation really is the name of the game in this latest iteration of Blood Bowl 3, the full release of which was delayed until “later in 2022” in November last year.
