Blood Bowl 3's closed beta starts this week, and you can register to join

Blood Bowl 3

Brutal, crazy, tactical… this is BLOOD BOWL! The iconic death sport returns with the new video game of fantasy football faithfully using the latest board game rules and new content. Create your team, then crush, mulch and cheat your way to the top... leaving your opponents in the graveyard.

Blood Bowl is a bit like American football, if the players were occasionally allowed to eat each other. The Blood Bowl III release date is now going to be sometime in February 2022, but there are going to be some opportunities to play the violent Warhammer-themed football game well before then.

While the full release will see Blood Bowl III take to the field on consoles, PC players will get to jump into Early Access on Steam beginning in September. Publisher Nacon hasn't said yet how much of the final game will be included when Early Access begins, but when it does launch next year you'll be working with a roster of 12 teams, each with its own pitch and cheerleaders, plus both single- and multiplayer modes.

If the fall still seems like too long to wait, don't fret! A closed beta kicks off this week, running June 3-13. To register, head to the official site and join the waiting list. You'll need to provide a name, date of birth, info on whether you're familiar with Blood Bowl or not, and your preferred platform. After registering, you'll just have to wait for an email invitation to play.
