The new Warhammer Blood Bowl published by Slitherine will be out in fall, and I'm looking forward to it because I enjoy pain I guess

An armored mummy prepares to tackle another player on the Blood Bowl pitch .

At this point being into the digital versions of Blood Bowl is basically masochism. In the 1990s MicroLeague published a version that was so cheap and nasty I said, "to call it barebones would be an insult to skeletons." Cyanide picked up the licence after that, releasing two decent adaptations whose DLC model was controversial at the time but seems blessedly sensible compared to Blood Bowl 3, a live-service seasonal microtransaction confusatron that's basically a poster child for "look how they massacred my boy" memes.

Blood Bowl 3 was published by Nacon, which has filed for insolvency and left strategy specialists Slitherine to pick up the ball. Cyanide's still the developer, but there's room to hope the next iteration, called Warhammer Blood Bowl, won't be another own goal.
