Takes To The Gridiron With Orcs, Wood Elves And Dwarfs In Blood Bowl
Legendary Games Workshop Fantasy
Football Franchise Breaks Retail’s Defensive Lines on Windows PC and Xbox 360
SouthPeak Games, today announced
that Blood Bowl for Windows PC and the Xbox 360 have shipped to retail shelves
throughout North America. With the big game right around the corner, there’s no
better time to brush up on your football tactics and skills. With the unlikely
forefather of American football and inspiration from the fantasy universe of
Warhammer, Blood Bowl is an ultraviolent team sport. Assemble a team of Orcs,
Lizardmen, Goblins and many other fantasy creatures and enter the bloodiest
arena ever!
For every great play, there’s an
equally great fumble, missed interception or player casualty. Blood Bowl brings
the best of the original tabletop experience to your fingertips with incredible
detail and vicious visuals. Players are tasked with managing their team’s
players, inducements (bribing refs/apothecaries for healing/cheerleaders/etc.),
handling the tactics on the field as well as keeping players in top physical
form throughout the season. With full season modes and online matches, Blood
Bowl offers players the chance to satiate their pigskin bloodlust.
“I’ve watched a lot of football
games in my day, both live and on television,” said Aubrey Norris, Manager of
Human-Orc Relations at SouthPeak. “I can safely say that Blood Bowl is the only
one where I’ve seen a Goblin on a pogo-stick jump over the defensive line and
bounce his way to a touchdown. I mean, really – where else are you going to see
that?”
Blood Bowl’s retail Windows PC and
Xbox 360 versions are available now at an MSRP of $39.99 and $49.99 USD,
respectively. The PSP version is expected to hit the field in Spring of 2010.
