Games Workshop and Cyanide have announced the arrival of their free-to-play tactical multiplayer team-building MMO Blood Bowl: Star Coach, which is planned for release in the second quarter of 2013 on PC, Mac and tablets.

The game is based on Games Workshop's fantasy football game world, in which you can embody a Star Coach of a Blood Bowl team that will create his own Blood Bowl team (choosing from different fantastic races and players) and the development of his own offensive and defensive playbook to face other teams in bloody matches.

After working with Games Workshop on adaptations of Blood Bowl and Dungeonbowl, Cyanide has sought to create a new type of experience with this newest member of the Blood Bowl video game family: “There are many ways to play Blood Bowl and lots of extensions already developed. Blood Bowl: Star Coach will interest both fans of football management as well as pure Blood Bowl enthusiasts. Players will encounter all the typical emotions and depth of play of a management game as well as the fun and originality specific to the Blood Bowl universe” says Patrick Pligersdorffer, CEO of Cyanide.

“Blood Bowl continues to be one of our most loved games, with a fanatically loyal global fan base, and Cyanide continues to be a great developer who have proven credentials with the brand”. Said Jon Gillard Head of Licensing for Games Workshop. “We couldn’t be happier to be working with them on this latest innovative iteration of the game, and we’re particularly looking forward to it being the first Blood Bowl game on tablets.”
