Supposedly:

"I was at the GW birthday event today and spoke to Andy Hoare who will be heading up the new Specialist Design Studio.

Along with the usual ForgeWorld and 40k heavy focus, there was some good news for Blood Bowl. Hot on the heels of the announcement of the relaunch and renamed Specialist Games, it seems that Blood Bowl will be the first release. Andy won’t take up the reins of the new studio officially until mid January, so he was manning the ForgeWorld stall. He had brought along a pair of prototype multipart models (a human and an orc), and a folder of concept sketches by Mark Bedford.

The new box is “probably” less than 12 months away from release, likely to be towards the end of 2016. The rules haven’t yet seen any development, but won’t stray too far from previous editions (although probably not the direct ports of the Competition Rules, Community Edition or linked to Cyanide). The contents will include plastic humans and orcs, both digitally sculpted. There may be 4-6 other teams released in resin.

Andy was adamant that the Blood Bowl background and setting won’t be revised, and that the strong sense of humour will be retained in the rulebook and models.

As an added bonus, Aly Morrison was on the other side of the studio area with his original illustrations from Blood Bowl first edition. Aly spoke very fondly of the development process of first edition, and was delighted to show off the illustrations. He’s looking forward to seeing how the game evolves with the new Specialist Games team"

Didn't think I saw this snippet of news on the site.

Maybe there will be a rebirth of this excellent game!!!
