Hak video game Blood Bowl telah diakuisisi oleh Slitherine dan pada titik ini saya akan menganggap perubahan apa pun sebagai pertanda baik

Slitherine, the publisher of the Panzer Corps series as well Warhammer 40,000 games like Battlesector and Gladius, has picked up the rights to publish the Blood Bowl series of fantasy sports parodies.

The publishing rights used to belong to Nacon, who filed for insolvency back in February. That resulted in the death of Greedfall developer Spiders and left a question-mark hanging over its hardware efforts as well as the future of Blood Bowl 3. Developers Cyanide had previously announced a plan to update the videogame to make it compatible with the tabletop version's latest rules refresh and rerelease it under the name Warhammer Blood Bowl, a plan that's been delayed but now seems set to go ahead under the new publisher.

"We have enormous respect for what Cyanide has built over the years," Slitherine's director of publishing Marco Minoli said, "and we're excited to continue working closely with the team to support and grow the series together with its passionate community."

"We are delighted to partner with Slitherine to ensure the future of the Blood Bowl videogames," Cyanide's CEO, Patrick Pligersdorffer, said. "Slitherine has proven its expertise, publishing high-quality strategy games. We believe it is a perfect match."

Though it looked promising prerelease, Blood Bowl 3 came out in a rough state, hampered by bugs, microtransactions seemingly designed to frustrate, and a live-service push. Even now, with some of the more annoying problems quashed, simply navigating its menus is a pain and many players have returned to Blood Bowl 2 for a smoother experience.
