- Summary
- Blood Bowl 2 is the sequel to Blood Bowl, the video game based on the famous board game created by Games Workshop that combines American football with the fantastic universe of Warhammer. This sequel is even more ambitious than its predecessor in all aspects of the game, with numerous extra features and the highest production values. Its brand new graphic engine has been specifically developed for this sequel and displays the game's high-quality visuals and superb graphics and sound effects that raise the license to the next level. Blood Bowl 2 also includes a host of new features in both Solo and Multiplayer mode that also make the game more accessible. The ambitious Solo campaign puts players in charge of one the most famous teams in the world of Blood Bowl to compete in some unconventional and truly unique matches to take their team to the top, while 'League' mode allows you to manage your own team, club and even stadium! Finally, the game achieves a greater tactical depth in Multiplayer mode with fabulous innovations that we will release very soon and which guarantee to drive the players wild!
Dark Elves are the only one of the Elven teams that are able to take four Blitzers. With Block and AV8 they are invaluable for the running game. Dark Elf Linemen. Dark Elf Linemen do all the usual grunt work on the team and fill the gaps left that the positional players on the team don’t fulfil.

Blood Bowl 2 is a turn-basedfantasy sportsvideo game developed by Cyanide Studios and published by Focus Home Interactive. It is a sequel to the 2009 video game Blood Bowl, based on the board game by Games Workshop. The game was developed for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and was released on 22 September 2015.[1][2] A Mac OS X version of the game was launched in May 2016.[3]
The game uses a new engine and removes the real-time mode found in the previous game, being turn-based only.[4] It also introduces the Bretonnian as a new playable race, which was developed out of a fan-developed rulebook.[5] The game features both a solo campaign and a multiplayer mode,[6] with the solo campaign featuring the human team, the Reikland Reavers.[4] Initially eight races are playable, but additional races were available as preorder bonus and downloadable content.[7]

Gameplay[edit]
Several new and improved features have been added since the first Blood Bowl game. These new features include the new Campaign mode, Stadium Customization, Cabalvision, and the Player Marketplace.
Drake & Summer Walker officially link up on a new remix. A few weeks ago, Summer Walker performed 'Girls Need Love' on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show. Stream Girls Need Love by Summer Walker from desktop or your mobile device. Shot clock lyrics.
- Campaign Mode
In Campaign Mode, the player follows the story of the Reikland Reavers, a team in disgrace. It is the player's job, as the team's coach, to raise them back to their former glory. Beyond the standard game play that can be found in League and Multiplayer modes, Campaign Mode includes a number of scripted, one-time events, such as a goblin crashing a helicopter in the middle of the field. When these events occur, the player has to continue play around them.
- Stadium customization
The base game includes five stadiums for customization. These are stadiums that originate with the Human, Orc, Dwarf, Dark Elf and Skaven. As players grow their teams, they can also grow their stadium. The stadium can be raised through four tiers, with 10 add-ons, for a total of 20 possible unique stadiums.
- Cabalvision
Cabalvision is Blood Bowl 2's version of sports commentary. Play-by-play announcer (and immortal vampire) Jim Johnson injects his witty commentary alongside analyst Bob Bifford's forthright preference to sheer violence, providing the player with a colourful commentary based on the teams, players, and the action happening on the field.
- Player marketplace
Because of the brutal nature of Blood Bowl, teams will often have to find more players to field—due to death, injury, or retirement—or to make some extra money. One way to do this is through the Player Marketplace. The Player Marketplace allows players to be both bought and sold from other coaches (both AI and Human).
Races[edit]
Eight races are included in Blood Bowl 2. These are the Humans, Orcs, Dwarfs, Skaven, High Elves, Dark Elves, Bretonnians, and Chaos.[8] There are also two races that are obtained as a pre-order bonus. The Wood Elves can be obtained by pre-ordering the game for Xbox One, and the Lizardmen can be obtained by pre-ordering the game for the PlayStation 4. If the game was pre-ordered through Steam, both races are available.
Dark Elves D&d
On December 17, 2015, Cyanide announced that they would be adding four new races into the game, starting from the Norse (released on May 2016), followed by Undead (released on July 2016), Necromantic (released on September 2016), and Nurgle (released on November 2016). Players who purchased Blood Bowl 2 on Steam before the release of these races received them for free as they were gradually rolled out. In February 2017, two new playable races - Chaos Dwarfs and Khemri - were released as DLC.[9]
Reception[edit]
Blood Bowl 2 has a score of 76% on Metacritic.[10]PC Gamer awarded it 60%, saying 'Blood Bowl 2 is the flashiest iteration of the game so far, but its dice rolls are frustrating, and its ample ruleset isn't introduced well to newcomers.'[11]IGN awarded it 7.8 out of 10, saying 'Blood Bowl 2 is a smashy, satisfying, goofy tactical melee that leaves just a bit too much up to the six-sided dice.'[12]GameSpot awarded it a score of 8 out of 10, saying 'Yet overall, Blood Bowl 2 is a step forward. It's a much friendlier, easier game than its predecessors, with improved looks, a tutorial campaign, controller support, and the UI improvements. New players won't feel blocked off from enjoying it.'[13]
