Blood Bowl: Meet the Goblins photo

Ahhh, Blood Bowl. It's been a few months since we've seen any footage of it and I'm happy to report that the drought may be at an end. After the fold, you can see a new trailer -- the first of eight -- focusing on the individual teams you'll be able to control in the upcoming game.

Here we have the Goblins, a personal favorite. As you'll see, the game looks to be incredibly violent and I would expect nothing less from this adaptation of a classic tabletop game. Goblins get launched to and fro the field, bust out some vicious weaponry and finally score a touchdown. 

I can't wait for this game and I'm hoping that before this run of videos is out that we'll have a firm release date on the title. It looks to be a ton of fun and I'm actually looking forward to a sports title for a change. How about you?

I'm pretty sure this is out already, my friend payed money for it so it wasn't a leaked version...

Yeah, it's out here in Germany for at least a month.

@ Zeta Crossfire :
They are form Dawn Of War, because DoW is based on Warhammer and so is Blood Bowl.

The digital version is out for PC, though in all honesty, they're getting people to pay for a beta phase -- it's been pretty buggy. It'll hit retail in September.

BB is a great game, I've been playing for the last couple of weeks, and a turn-based game can take an hour to playthrough. In a couple of turns you can change up the game and what seemed like sure defeat becomes victory as you score once and get ready to score a second time. I play as Chaos, and if you love crushing your foes rather than follow the actual rules of the sport, this is the race for you. It's great when a tackle manages to wound or even outright kill one of the "enemy" players.

Just don't play it on the "real time" blitz mode.

The digital distribution they're using is very finicky and you may end up waiting weeks for a working activation code. That said, I'm glad I didn't wait 'til September for the subsequent Steam release. By that time, my Dwarven Deathroller will be waiting to grind the n00bs into blood pudding.

The only way to get me to buy a sports game is to include the word "mutant" or "blood" in the title.

Blood Bowl is really a strategy game, putting this in sports is bound to give people the wrong impression. Still it's good to see that Blood Bowl is getting some coverage.

Blood Bowl also has a real time mode as well as the traditional turn based mode. But reading some of the reviews, I wish somebody made a remake or sequel to Mutant League Football.
