Now headed straight to a full launch later this year
Early access is a mixed bag. Sometimes it’s an exciting early glimpse, sometimes it feels like supporting a developer or game you care about, and sometimes it can feel more like paying to beta test. That last one won’t be a concern withBlood Bowl 3, not anymore. The latest adaptation of Games Workshop’s tabletop fantasy bloodsport was headed to early access but now, naw. The developers are focusing on closed beta testing instead, and will simply launch the game in full once it’s done.
The launch has already been delayed several times, and been running closed tests for a while. It needs more time, and apparently they no longer think early access is the way to go about that.
“We are still working on features such as the AI, the planification phase, the pathfinding or multiple bugs correction,” the Blood Bowl 3 team said inTuesday’s announcement. Maybe some typo correction too?
“As a result, we decided to cancel the PC early access release, to focus on a PC closed beta, leading to a final release on both PC and consoles this year.”
The next closed beta test will run January 25th to February 2nd. It’ll only be available to people who registered last June or got keys frompre-ordering the board gameway back when. Folks who previously had Steam beta keys are in for this latest test too, and the devs plan to “progressively” send out more for folks who registered in June but didn’t get one.
Blood Bowl 3 is headed toSteamandthe Epic Games Storelater this year, made by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon.
