    They fixed the announcer voice for the vampire. He doesn't sound like a goblin anymore!
    And we get to see them!

    Also some game play footage:


    And finally a bunch of screen shots:

    Comes out Q4 of this year so we could be looking as the last season or two on the old engine.

    I think in BB 1 he is also a vampire, does not sound like one but he makes blood sucking jokes against the right team.

    I am excited about this game, although the lack of teams will be an issue for me.

    Boy am I conflicted about this. Cyanide has put out so many crap games it feels like they got lucky with the first BB. Every time one of their newer games flopped they'd put out a new version of the ol' Bowl to sustain themselves.

    New engine looks a lot better but I'm not sure I'd want to lose half the teams for graphics alone.

    On the other hand, some of the teams lack identity and that goes back to the tabletop. I'd be pretty happy with an updated ruleset or whatever. If each side gets rebalanced and fleshed out a bit, BB2 could be pretty great. Have there been any updates to the source material?

    GW seems dead-set on doing as little as possible with BB. With the exception of the Chaos Pact and Slann teams, Chaos Edition is up to date with what will most likely be the last official update ever (or at the very least for a very long time). With that said, Cyanide has shown that they are willing to introduce new teams, such as Khorne Demons and the upcoming Brettonians in BB2, so there is some hope in keeping the material fresh.

    Assuming league function works, we will need to get something going once this is out. I heard June as a probable time. The limited teams will be a bit underwhelming but it will also be a better time for newer players to get into it since there will be less variables to learn.

    Have they announced their final DLC plans? Cause their methods in the past blow sweaty goat balls

    it's Games Workshop. I'll be shocked if they don't charge $15 per race pack. Or more.

    A time for newer bloodbowl players to come in you say? Interesting, I might have to take you up on that offer! Watched your forms before but never knew when/where to acually jump in and ask if I could get involved.
