Blood Bowl: Death Zone, developed by Cyanide Studios in partnership with Games Workshop, is the newest entry in the decades-old series known for its satirizing of American Football.
Now in early access on Steam, the game has a fresh trailer and some details to go along with this latest version.
Blood Bowl: Death Zone is fantasy football made literal. Pitting two players against each other, they select five team members of various fantasy races such as elves, orcs, and dwarves to put on football teams, and then, try to get the pigskin in the endzone. Except there's more.
You see, in addition to all the ins and outs of football, players can punch, kick and even use a wizard to blast their opponents in carving a path to victory.
Cyanide states that, by release, the game will have:
"15 teams based on the most popular races from the Blood Bowl universe (4 in current version)
10+ Star Players, each with their unique style, strengths and weaknesses (4 in current version)
20+ unique abilities for your players (8 in current version) 5 arenas (1 in current version)
Multiplayer league and simple matches (only simple matches in current version)"
The studio also states that it expects to have the game in early access for quite a few months before a full release.
