On completion of the pass a new faction is unlocked to play with. The game contains a new feature for the Blood Bowl series in that it introduces a battle pass system called 'Blood Pass' which take place over three month long seasons and allow players to unlock cosmetics (such as dice, armour and balls). Players may attempt to injure, maim or kill the opposition in order to make scoring easier by reducing the number of enemy players on the field. Touchdowns are scored by taking the ball into the opposition's end zone. The game is a fantasy version of American football, played between two teams of up to 16 players, each team fielding up to 11 players at a time. The launch was met with criticism over the new monetisation system introduced into the game, bugs and crashes, poor AI, readability, as well as server issues and a lack of tools and features present in the previous game. The game was announced in August 2020 but had numerous delays and postponement to its release date. It contains a single-player campaign as well as multiplayer. The game uses the newly updated Second Edition ruleset.

The game was released on 23 February 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch port to follow sometime later in 2023. It is a sequel to the 2015 video game Blood Bowl 2, based on the Blood Bowl board game by Games Workshop and is the third Blood Bowl game created by Cyanide. Blood Bowl 3 is a turn-based fantasy sports video game developed by Cyanide Studios and published by Nacon.
