Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive's Blood Bowl 2 is getting a second edition, much like the original Blood Bowl and it's called, Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition. It's adding a number of new teams, new star players, a new stadium and the ability to pause. Like the last Legendary Edition though, it will be its own standalone game.
Cyanide has always had a strange method of releasing new content for its Blood Bowl games. While it does release individual DLC in the form of teams and team uniforms, it also tends to release brand new versions of the same game, with new content only accessible through that. While it's doing something similar with Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition, current owners of Blood Bowl 2 will be able to ‘upgrade' their copies instead of buying a full game.
Focus Home Interactive reached out to us too, to confirm that a “team pack,” would be released before launch, to allow anyone who's missing some of the previous DLC team releases to buy them all in one go, including the upcoming Khemri and Chaos Dwarf teams.
This isn't an expansion, but a full game in itself with all of the original content, plus a lot more. In Legendary Edition there are new teams, including: Ogres, Amazons, Goblins, Halflings, Vampires, Elf Union, Underworld and Kislev, some non-league Mercenary teams and a couple of new fun teams filled with star players.
Speaking of Star Players, Cyanide is upping their roster to around 50, adding new and cheaper anti-bash star players to counter those claw, mighty blow, pile-on combinations. There's a new stadium being added to the game, the ability to pause, new chat room function in leagues and before and after games. If you don't like what someone's saying though, you can mute them in each and all of those new chats.
FAME will now be displayed in game and cheerleaders for each team will start wearing your team's jersey colours. If you don't like the current per centage probability read outs too, you can switch them back to dice, like Blood Bowl of old.
Those are the big changes and updates coming to the game, but there will likely be more added by the time it is released sometime in Summer this year.

KitGuru Says: I don't like that Cyanide has made Legendary Edition a separate game again – why can't it just be an expansion for Blood Bowl 2? Still, the big discount is welcome as I may not have bothered if asked to pay full price. Who else is excited to get some more stunties in their leagues?
If my 3 versions on Blood Bowl taught me anything that is that I’m waiting until Blood Bowl 2: Chaos Edition
I’ve listened to the start of that 5 times now and I swear in the first 20 seconds twice he says he has some really big ‘Blubble 2’ news. What on Earth is ‘BLUBBLE 2’, Is that a 3rd version of Blood Bowl 2?

Legendary is supposedly the Chaos edition of BB2.
It’s not really standalone though, the games are fully cross-compatible, and you can get the 8 races as a big DLC (50% cheaper) instead of having to buy the game anew.
Yeah, what an idiot! =P
They’ve changed the model though, so that they’re not actually standalone, which was really bad about BB1. Buying BB2 for PC at launch, you got 8 base races + lizards and wood elves included, and didn’t have to pay for the next 4 DLCs (norse, undead, necro, nurgle). As a result, we’ve only had to buy CDorfs and Khemri separately so far, and should get the 8 new races for €20-25, as opposed to the expected €50 standalone price. By that time, we’ll have 24 races in the game, which is 1 more than in BBCE (same races – Khorne, + Kislev/Slann & Brets). If a chaos edition does come, it’ll probably use the same model, offering a complete races standalone pack for new coaches, or a few-race DLC upgrade pack for existing ones. I expect that it will introduce Pact, Khorne, likely Slaanesh and maybe Tzeentch.
Hey we dealt with this lol ; ) and I’m still subscribed to your YouTube channel, now stop necro-ing ancient threads and go play some Blubble, I’m trying to get my head around 40k’s Super Mega Hyper Marines in the new rules set.
Haha yeah I ran into this by mistake when trying to google cyanide’s announcement. =D
