This Blood Bowl 2 gameplay trailer is upon us now and it looks devilishly glorious. I like how it’s keeping true to the tabletop experience by showing the dice rolls on the field while the characters are in motion. I’m not sure if this will get old fast during actual gameplay but the presentation style looks great right now. Speaking of presentation they’ve also brought in Jim Johnson the Vampire and Bob Bifford the Ogre to bring color commentary that’s bound to make you laugh your head clean off. Blood Bowl 2 will be hitting PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Spring of 2015.

PRESS RELEASE
BLOOD BOWL 2: NEW WEBSITE IS LIVE, FIRST GAMEPLAY VIDEO RELEASED!
Humans take on Orcs in first gameplay video
Blood Bowl 2, the sequel to the video game adaptation of Games Workshop’s famous board game that combines American football with the fantasy world ofWarhammer, today opens its brand new website and unveils its first gameplay footage!
In this first gameplay video, the famous Human team Reikland Reavers perform some of the basic moves that make the core gameplay mechanics of a Blood Bowl match: running, passing, catching, blocking, blitzing. simple actions that take a whole new level when we take into consideration the game’s 75 different skills that Blood Bowl players can innately have, or learn upon levelling up! Humans are great all-rounders: they are equally at home running the ball, passing it, or ignoring it and pounding the opposition into the turf instead. However, being jacks-of-all-trades also means they do not excel in any domain in particular.
This video shows Blood Bowl 2’s brand new graphics engine in action, but also reveals the meticulous work done on Blood Bowl 2 by developer Cyanide to capture the authentic Blood Bowl experience: the cheering of the ravenous fans filling the huge stadiums to the brink, the animations, the dynamic cameras enhancing the brutal atmosphere of the matches, the “Cabalvision” identity and the hilarious commenting duo, Jim Johnson and Bob Bifford. We also get a first look at the new game’s interface and much improved visual feedback, bringing a more modern, fresher look to Blood Bowl while improving clarity and comprehension of the action on the field.
The new website of Blood Bowl 2 is a real mine of information about the game. Here, you will find everything you need to know about the game, from the gameplay mechanics to the new features of this sequel, to the multiplayer features and an overview of all 8 playable races.
We look forward to revealing more of Blood Bowl 2 for PlayStation 4, Xbox ONE and PC with additional info and more gameplay videos soon!
