Blood Bowl Media Shows Fantasy Football

June 25, 2008 1:16 PM

Publisher Focus Home Interactive has released a new trailer and screenshots of Cyanide Studio's fantasy-inspired football title Blood Bowl.

Based on Games Workshop's board game of the same name, Blood Bowl will support both real-time and turn-based play. The game is expected to hit PC and Xbox 360 later this year, with Nintendo DS and PSP editions arriving later.

  <3 Mutant League Football. I always tried to win by forcing the opponent to forfeit because I killed too many of their players.

    Yea, such a great game, that's been archived to the depths of EA's dungeons never to be reborn.

      I bet if this game does well, EA would probably consider digging up the franchise again. However, I doubt this game will do terribly well...

        the new Blitz needs to do incredibly well, or the one from Natural Motion...
        
        Something with over the top action/violence in a non NFL setting.
        
        too bad EA would probably fuck it up just to cash in...

  It doesn't look as brutal, over the top, or funny though.
  
  I'm still holding out for a new Mutant League Football game.

    Do you realise that Mutant Leage Football was copied from inspired by Blood Bowl?
