In development at Cyanide Studio, Blood Bowl is expected to take the field for the PC, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and PSP in the second quarter of 2009. Finally, we'll be able to settle the age old question of which is better at tossing around the pigskin: reptiles or stupid, stupid rat creatures.

Exactly what I said once the trailer ended. Well, without the abbreviation.

It'll be both turn-based and real-time, in two different modes.

I'll tell you, I never expected Warhammer and Blood Bowl to become major videogame franchises.
I also never expected FASA Studio to die.
Looks like I was wrong.

Only a matter of time before "Need for transformers" releases, a racing sim with the ability to transform into robots and run :D

There's been a huge hole in sports games since the last Mutant League. This had better fill that, thus getting me tu buy a sports themed game for the first time in 7 years.

I think they said you could do real time or turn based

hahahaha, awesome. Lets hope it's brutal as anything :D
@Biggie, new Space Hulk would be awesome too, hopefully I'd actually be able to play the game, I never quite got the hang of the old one. It was on 4 floppy disks, how cool is that!

Sweet! If it has all the features of the tabletop (hooligan fans, bribing the ref, etc...), then this could be a great game.

I once had a Skaven (rat) team where my RB got 2 mutations of extra long legs +2 move, sprint +1 move and something like 'Going for it' +1 move on a 4,5 or 6.
He could move 13 squares in one shot and in theory could score every turn.

BLOOD BOWL IS BECOMING A VIDEO GAME?
First Age of Reckoning, now Blood Bowl.
Thank you for decent IP titles for a change.

Even though I'd love this on PS3, I'm still waiting for a new Speedball (they could even set it in the WipEout universe).

This will definitely be better than the first video game version of Blood Bowl.
I'm interested. I may have to buy a new game for once. (I usually wait and get them used.)

I was actually more into ant wrestling. I hope if I become famous PETA doesn't bring that against me...

I'd certainly play this game, you can bet your bottom gold piece. I used to play Warhammer a lot and never got to play Blood Bowl because the game went out of print. I'll probably get this for DS since I don't have an Xbox 360 or a PSP. I'm also wondering why this isn't coming out for PS3.

This game is right at the top of my list... i used to love Blood Bowl back in the day.. i think i probably had more fun with it than WHFP and WH40k combined.
One question though? Have there been different versions of the rules? I want to play the rules i used to play as a kid, not some updated/dumbed down rules like what happened to WH40k.
*misses old style Rogue Trader 40k and Epic40k+AdeptusTitanicus*

For those of you looking for rules, you can find the rules for the turn based version here: http://www.bloodbowlonline.com/Rules.shtml It's kind of a mix of turned based strategy with some character building similar to rpg's. I have no idea how real time mode will work.
