It’s Saturday Night and The Arena Awaits! DreadBall: All Stars is a competitive sports game by Mantic Games. Set in the future where mega-corporations bankroll brutal entertainment for the masses, you’ll coach a team of legends in explosive head-to-head matches aiming for galactic glory!

Designed by Blood Bowl creator Jervis Johnson and veteran game designer Alessio Cavatore, DreadBall: All Stars is a standalone game that can be played as either one-off games, or you can create your own epic events for championship play.

With three arenas catering for 2-player games, and a fourth for a Battle Royale for 3 to 6 players (only available in the All-In Gameplay Pledge or as an add-on) there are seven available teams to choose from - Juggernauts, Jets, Krakens, Sabrecats, Painkillers, Ryders and Slammers!

The crowdfunding campaign launched, and fully funded, on 17th March and runs for 24 days. You can find out more about the game, and make a pledge, on the DreadBall All Stars: The Sci-Fi Sports Game Kickstarter page.

Initially we were stoked to play Dredd Ball - "I AM the ball!" Upon closer inspection it's DreadBall All Stars from Mantic, and Blood Bowl creator Jervis Johnson has redesigned it with 7 teams and a battle royale mode. Already funded on Kickstarter. #DreadBallAllStars
