The game uses a new engine and removes the real-time mode found in the previous game, making the game purely turn-based. It also introduces the Bretonnian as a new playable race, which was developed out of a fan-developed rulebook. The game features both a solo campaign and a multiplayer mode, with the solo campaign featuring the human team, the Reikland Reavers. Initially eight races are playable, but additional races were available as preorder bonus and downloadable content, in addition to the Legendary Edition.
A sequel, Blood Bowl 3 was released in February 2023.
