9 Playable Races!

A brutal team sport unfolding in a parallel fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition invites gamers to form a team of players from such races as Orcs, Wood Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and other fantasy creatures who launch themselves into battle in the bloodiest of arenas.  This strategy sports game combines a fine balance of tactics and bonecrunching action! The new edition of this game includes a whole new race available ingame: the deadly and remorseless Dark Elves! Along with their own Star Player, the Dark Elves combine the dexterity of the Elves and the brutality of the strongest races - perfect for the players who want to crush the opponent with style.

The game offers two different game modes. The first, which is fully real time, offers intense battles between blocking linemen and daring displays of agility with players leaping and dodging opponents, while powerful spells and dirty trick plays are unleashed across the pitch. The second game mode, is an exact replica of Games Workshop's turn-based tabletop masterpiece. The original rules have been faithfully reproduced with all of the strategies, play and rhythm of the original game.

In single-player you manage a team throughout an entire season of Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition, through the Old World of Warhammer. As the team evolves you manage every detail of your players; their popularity, sponsorship, purchase and sale, as well as their aging, retirement and even death. In multiplayer, the player will be able to throw down a challenge to other Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition players in online tournaments and climb the official ranks ladder.

Blood Bowl welcomes a new playable race as the dreadful Dark Elves join the 8 other races already in the game. The newcomers may be the last to enter, but they have every other team aghast with fear and awe in equal measure. For they encompass the best traits of the best teams in the whole of the Blood Bowl world, in one perfect package. Or so their arrogant coaches would have you believe!  This new team enters the Blood Bowl arena with their own Star Player, cheerleaders, all new model designs and unique animations. Meet the new race right away with an exclusive video showing off these players that combine Wood Elf agility with a more obvious brutality. A real treat to play and to watch!
