'Blood Bowl III' Season 9 Kicks Off In June, Adds The Khorne Faction - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on May 23, 2025 @ 1:10 a.m. PDT

Blood Bowl III is a turn-based strategy game inspired by American football set in the Warhammer fantasy world.

Strap on your boots, don your helmet, adjust your shoulder guards and chest plate… and slip a sharpened dagger into your belt (it's the rules).

 The iconic death sport returns with the new video game of fantasy football faithfully using the latest board game rules and new content. Create your team, then crush, mulch and cheat your way to the top... leaving your opponents in the graveyard.

Blood Bowl III is a videogame of fantasy football where elves, humans, orcs and other creatures fight for the ball with shoulder charges, kicks, punches and weapons of varying degrees of lethality (and legality by the ref). As the coach, you must give instructions to your players: hinder the progress of your opponents by positioning them in your tackle zone, knock down those who get in your way, and break through to your opponents' end zone to score a touchdown!

All your units can gain experience and receive statistic bonuses or new skills. However, be careful: injuries are common, especially when the referee is a goblin who tends to overlook most forms of violence. Some players may even leave the field limp and lifeless, putting an early and definitive end to their careers.


Cyanide Studio and NACON unveiled new information about the upcoming Blood Bowl 3 season in a brand-new trailer. Available on June 10, the new season will feature the Khorne team. In addition, for the duration of the Warhammer Skulls event, the game will be discounted on all platforms and players will be able to get an exclusive Coach for free in the in-game store.

Introducing the Khorne faction

As the name suggests, this faction is made up of worshippers of Khorne, the God of blood and slaughter. Khorne teams are characterized by their particularly brutal play style! Many of their players are equipped with the Frenzy skill, which leads them to bloody confrontations with opposing teams. Their motto reflects this philosophy: “Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it flows.” 

An exclusive new Coach and discounts on all platforms

Until May 29, as part of the Warhammer Skulls event, players can visit the in-game store to obtain an exclusive Khorne Coach for free.

A 60% discount is also being offered on Blood Bowl 3 on all platforms (Xbox, PlayStation®, Steam) until May 29.

Blood Bowl III is a faithful adaptation of the Games Workshop board game, which is to receive a new edition this year. The game will use the new edition rules, teams (including the new Black Orcs and Imperial Nobility), units and associated skills. The best strategists will obviously be at an advantage, but will that be enough? All it takes is one unfortun6ate roll of the dice to change the course of a match.

Funnier, bloodier and more spectacular than ever, Blood Bowl III will be a hit with fans of the universe and competitive players alike. At launch, the game will include 12 races, each with their own arena and team of cheerleaders, campaign and multiplayer modes, and loads of customization options. Regular content updates will be added after launch.

Brutal, crazy, tactical… this is BLOOD BOWL!

Key Features:

  • Based on the official rules of the latest edition of the board game, including new skills and redesigned passing mechanics
