Blood Bowl 3 is a violent take on American football set in a pocket dimension of the greater Warhammer universe, where crushing the opposition has a more literal meaning. Today, we got an overview trailer describing how the game adapts rules from the tabletop system it's based on. Blood Bowl 3 kicks off on PS5 and PS4 on 23rd February, after being delayed from last August.
In Blood Bowl 3, you choose one of 12 teams and lead them to sporting glory. The twist is that each team is based on a Warhammer fantasy faction, such as the savage Greenskins or the verminous Skaven. But it's OK if you don't know your Archaeons from your Azazels, the larger lore of the universe is mainly irrelevant to the violent delights that can be found on the field.
It looks pretty awesome in action, like if RPG mechanics and dice rolls governed Madden, and overt brutality was the goal rather than just a byproduct. What do you think of Blood Bowl 3, have you played previous titles in the series or the long-running tabletop game? Score a touchdown in the comments section below.

I did not realize this was turn based...
@Voltan it's good fun! I picked up BB2 for a couple of squid on ps store. It's a dirty world where even the ref gets stuck in.
As a fan of the tabletop game who doesn't get to play anywhere near as often as I like, I'm looking forward to this.
I couldn't get into the bb2.... maybe I'll give it another go.
@Voltan it has been for almost 40 years brother. If you like turn based games it's one of the greats. If you are looking for a fun madden alternative you are looking for Mutant Football League.
@GymratAmarillo I played a game like this (but a real time 2-player sports game) back in the early 90s, most likely on an Amiga 500. Brutal Football or something like that. I remember that being fun
I’ve never played the previous instalments, know little about tabletop games, even less about the rules of American football. I’ll probably never play this game or have anything to say about it. I do however rather like that subtitle!
