Oh, yes! I loved Blood Bowl, the DOS game based on the Games Workship combat fantasy football miniatures game, back from the mid-90’s based - it was incredibly addictive, with monster football players, free agents, and so forth.
This is definitely a game that needed to be remade. Kudos!
While the company hopes to license the engine to other “small and medium sized” game developers, Cyanide is not above eating its own dog food, and will utilize the technology in its own projects, the first of which will be a title based on Games Workshop’s fantasy tabletop game Blood Bowl. First announced briefly last year, the real news here is that the game, which is an unofficial follow up to the unlicensed PC title Chaos League, has been confirmed as in development for the Xbox 360, PSP, and Nintendo DS, as well as the PC. Few details are known at present beyond that the studio calls the project a “faithful representation” of the tabletop game, and adds that Blood Bowl should be released sometime in late 2008.
(Thanks, Joystiq.)
