A Season 7 packed with new features
- A new faction, the Norse: the Norse teams love a fight above all else! These cold-hardened players excel in melee, blocking in all directions and punching their way across the field. In addition to their brute strength, this faction can also count on their intrepid and versatile Valkyries... or even on a boar who distributes beer to his teammates!
- Arena mode, a new way to play: in this new competitive format, players must win a certain number of matches to win, while being careful not to lose too many matches, or risk elimination.
- Eternal League is on the way: Blood Bowl 2's highly popular single-player mode will be opened up for in-depth community testing during the season, and will be available to all players from Season 8 onwards. The Eternal League will enable players to progress their teams ad infinitum by taking part in a number of themed competitions (opposing teams made up entirely of undead players, stadium caught in a perpetual blizzard, referee allowing cheating etc.).
This season also brings other new features: an unlockable rewards path, Star Players and numerous adjustments. Further information on Season 7 is available HERE.
