Norse Community Update

Hey Coaches!

We've been super busy lately, so we thought it time to update you on what we have coming!

February was packed, with the last updates on consoles and launching the Blood Bowl 2 World Cup 2016!

We're excited to announce that over 3000 unique players have registered for our World Cup. The community leagues have now started, along with the World Cup ladder which gives the opportunity for numerous players to showcase their skills. On the forum, you can find the current leaderboard for season 1.

Our next focus is on the Norse team, as well as several key features requested by the community.

With regards to the Norse team, as we’ve announced on other networks we are currently aiming at a release in the coming weeks.

The models and animations are ready, and the team is now undergoing numerous tests for polish. Check out this screenshot by the QA team working on our beloved Norse!

The other announced teams are coming in the following months. Don't expect one team each month, but we’re aiming for it to not take as long as the Norse have.

Our primary goal after release was to iron out the game according to community feedback. A lot has changed, with several major updates, and we'll now focus on the additional races (although we are still working on community feedback!).

Concerning the awaited features, we’re also pleased to announce a new matchmaking system based on the TV++, along with new Starplayers for the current races and numerous bug fixes, which will be implemented with the Norse update.

Developed with the help of several deeply-involved players in the community, such as Dode and Enarion, the new matchmaking system should have a positive impact on the ladder environments, especially on the Cabalvision Official League. We'll be writing up a more detailed post on the official forum in the coming days regarding its functionality.

Have fun on the pitch,
