Blood Bowl 3 Gameplay
Blood Bowl 3 is a turn-based fantasy sports video game where players take control of fantasy football teams composed of fantasy races. Each player is allowed a two-minute turn window to move, maneuver, attempt a touchdown, or attempt to injure, maim, or kill opposing players on the field to make getting a touchdown easier. With sixteen players on each side and eleven players on the field at a time, players will have to manage their manpower smartly, making sure that they will always have players to attempt a touchdown and defend their own end zone.
New to the series is monetization practices, particularly a newly-introduced battle pass that locks factions behind it, as well as in-game currency that can be both earned or bought directly.
In the game, there will be twelve playable factions, as follows:
- Black Orcs
- Chaos Chosen
- Chaos Renegades
- Dark Elf
- Dwarfs
- Elven Union
- Humans
- Imperial Nobility
- Nurgle
- Old World Alliance
- Orcs
- Skaven
