We can now officially announce that Blood Bowl 2 will be releasing September 22
on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The game was delayed by a few weeks compared with its
initial release planned this June, in order to ensure that players would enjoy

experience. As a thank you for your support and patience, players will receive
an extra Blood Bowl 2 race (including its own AI, design, skills, and their Star
Players): the Lizardmen or the Wood Elves during pre-order campaign on consoles

enjoy the multiplayer beta demo a few weeks before the release of the game.
More information is coming soon with regards to the pre-order bonuses and the
different offers available, but until then, enjoy a video outlining Blood Bowl
2’s campaign game mode.
