Gamers that enjoy real-world Nerf battles or know someone that does may be interested to know that Blizzard Entertainment and Hasbro have unveiled a new Nerf gun styled on D.va’s blaster pistol. The toy is expected to be made available sometime next year and was announced via a tweet and a teaser video embedded below.
Very few specifications have been released by Hasbro regarding the new 2019 Overwatch Nerf Gun, but we know the ammunition will travel “up to” 80 feet per second, and the design may look similar to the publicity image released by Hasbro embedded above.
Design and Features
The D.va blaster pistol is a faithful recreation of the in-game weapon used by the popular Overwatch character, D.va. Known for her mech-suit and her agile combat style, D.va’s blaster is a fan favorite. The Nerf version aims to capture the essence of the original design, featuring the same vibrant colors and sleek contours. The blaster is expected to be a part of the Nerf Rival series, which is known for its high-performance blasters that shoot foam balls at high velocities.
The Nerf Rival series is particularly popular among older Nerf enthusiasts and competitive players due to its accuracy and power. The D.va blaster will likely include similar features, such as a tactical rail for attachments and a trigger lock for safety. The blaster will use Nerf Rival rounds, which are designed to be more aerodynamic and travel further than traditional Nerf darts.
Community and Anticipation
The announcement of the D.va blaster has generated significant excitement within both the Overwatch and Nerf communities. Fans of the game are eager to get their hands on a piece of Overwatch memorabilia that they can use in real-world play. The collaboration between Blizzard Entertainment and Hasbro is seen as a perfect match, combining the immersive world of Overwatch with the fun and competitive nature of Nerf battles.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always. Nerf’s most popular products are Nerf Blasters, which are toy plastic guns that shoot foam darts. Nerf stands for “non-expanding recreational foam” as they shoot ammunition made from Nerf foam.
Nerf has a long history of creating innovative and exciting toys that capture the imagination of children and adults alike. The addition of the Overwatch-themed blaster to their lineup is expected to be a big hit, especially among fans of the game. The blaster’s release will likely be accompanied by a marketing campaign that includes demonstrations, gameplay videos, and possibly even tournaments or events where fans can compete using the new blaster.
Here comes a new challenger! 🐰
