The imaginary forerunner of football, Blood Bowl is an ultra violent team sport based on the Warhammer world. It lets players compose a team of Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarves and many others fantasy creatures before jumping into the bloodiest arenas. The sport game is both strategic and violent. It requires tactics, a certain amount of game-sense and a lot of self-confidence.
Now we can reveal the two last races in the game. After the Orcs and Humans, Dwarfs and Lizardmen, Goblins and Skaven, today is the day for the Wood Elves and Chaos to show themselves and compete on the blood soaked field!
Wood Elf teams are very elegant and value fair play in their game. They are a very specialized team with distinctive positions for each player role. ‘Fragile and agile’, Wood Elves give priority to evasive tactics in order to avoid confrontation and score without using any violence. But don't underestimate them when on the attack, Wood Elves won't hesitate to fight back if they have to; Wardancers especially know how to stop stubborn opponents. Last but not least, Wood Elves can count on valuable help from Treemen. Their awesome strength and sturdiness are seriously difficult to match, fortunately for everyone else, Treemen have a bad Habit of Taking Root in the middle of the field during the game!
The Chaos team uses a totally different playing style to that of the Wood Elves. They have no concept whatsoever of fair play and don't care very much about the ball either! At least, not if someone is still standing on the other team. To sum up their game philosophy, let's say that some Chaos teams consider the number of injuries inflicted is far more important than number of touchdowns scored.
Their team is composed of Chaos Warriors, Beastmen and Minotaurs. Corrupted by the power of the Chaos Gods, they are bestowed great strength and excel at the physical contact game, often trying to eliminate every adversary before scoring. When they face opponents that are more resistant than expected, Chaos teams line up wild Minotaurs whose bestiality would make any other team shudder. However, be careful, Minotaurs are only honorary Blood Bowl "players"; they are highly unpredictable and seldom follow their coach's orders.
Both teams are waiting for you to play in highly contested games in 2009.
Blood Bowl is currently in development and will come out on PC, Xbox 360 and on Nintendo DS and PSP handheld systems.
