## Key points

- Warhammer Blood Bowl is now due in early 2027.
- Slitherine cited playtest feedback and the need for more polish.
- Blood Bowl 3 owners will upgrade free and keep purchases.

## Summary

Slitherine has delayed Warhammer Blood Bowl from its planned 2026 release to early 2027, saying feedback from the ongoing playtest has reinforced the need to polish the game. The decision matters to fans awaiting the refreshed fantasy football title, though the company said disappointing them was not an option.

The playtest has added Arena mode, where players aim to complete 10 consecutive matches without a loss or more than two draws. It uses resurrection rules, resetting teams to their starting line-up after each match. The Tomb Kings and Bretonnians factions will be included free, and Blood Bowl 3 owners will receive the new game at no cost while keeping previously purchased teams and cosmetics.
