Blood Bowl
Meet the Wood Elves (but watch out for splinters).
Today Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to unveil the 3rd video of the series of trailers showcasing the game’s races!
We are presenting today the agile Wood Elves! Wood Elves are extremely agile and fast, and favour passing and running tactics over a brutal blocking game. They are very fragile and won’t survive a very brutal game for long, but they very nimble and as the saying goes: it takes a very agile or lucky opponent to lay a hand on a Wood Elf!
An ultra-violent strategy game based on Warhammer Fantasy and American football, Blood Bowl allows players to create the ultimate “fantasy” sports teams. Coaches can build bone-crushing teams of Orcs, Wood Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and many more fantastic creatures – then throw them into the stadium for the ultimate blood sport! Blood Bowl is strategic, action-packed and violent, requiring coaches to use their best tactics, team design – and a dose of pure ruthless bloodlust always helps too!
All of these charming creatures are waiting for you to play in highly contested games soon on PC, Xbox 360 and handheld consoles.
