You can now pre-order Blood Bowl 2, and for the PC you pick either the Wood Elves or the Lizardmen as a pre-order bonus. It looks like additional races will be DLC, which honestly is a better fit than the old model of buying a different version of the game that just had more stuff.
Assuming the game isn’t a complete mess of bugs and broken features, I’m excited. I played a lot of BB1, and had fun running leagues. I plan to do that again, likely the first league starting very shortly after release. Pre-order players also get into multi-player beta a few weeks early, which will be a nice tune-up.

damn these pre orders. Just when you think you’ve sworn off them for good, something like this comes along
Will definately add this to my wishlist.
I know one of the beta testers – currently the game is full of bugs (until recently it was possible to use throw team mate on the OPPOSING team’s players, for example). There’s a good base game there though and they may pull it round in time, but it’s likely to be messy at launch.
Yea the first version of the original had some serious bugs too. Even much later versions still occasionally had something. Hopefully the larger beta goes a long way to cleaning it up and getting it ready for the full release.
I still play BB1. There are some great leagues out there if you are interested. There are still over 200 of us over at the OCC, for example. You can also get direct IP at the OFL (all teams and stars modded in).
The OFL has a player transfer market modded in too, plus an annual pro-bowl made up of the best players in the league.
