Blood Bowl 3's Closed Beta starts today at 5.30pm (GMT) and will be your taste of what to expect from Blood Bowl 3!
The Beta does is not representative of the final game with just a selection of the teams, modes, and content you can expect from the final release. It's taken us a long time to reach the point where we're comfortable sharing this first look, but there's still more to come. So make sure you keep up to date with all the progress on development here and on our socials. With that out of the way, let's talk about the beta!

Known issues:
Disclaimer: The game is far from its final version! This is a BETA, and it comes with its fair share of unfinished business. Some we know about, some we don't so please let us know about anything you've come across on the forums or on Discord.
This is a list of known issues, major and minor:
- The commentaries haven't been completely implemented yet and are not representative of the final version.
- Additionally, we have work to do on the AI in the game. We know this is an important aspect for the Blood Bowl community, so want to let you know that the AI in the beta does not represent the quality planned for the final version.
A few other issues:
- You might experience some unexpected crashes.
- The Bonus Timer bar is displayed in other Timer settings than Competitive.
- Star players do not have their visual displayed during the « Inducements » phase.
- Part of the game UI might appear during cinematics.
- The game UI remains displayed in Picture Mode.
- If a player scores a Touchdown during the last turn of a match, the celebration cinematic is not displayed.
- The ball might stay on the ground under players when they get it.
- Some localization issues may occur for languages other than French and English.
This beta will be the occasion to give you a first look at BB3 but also for you to give us your feedback about the game so we can improve it before the official release!
