In the last year, Hasbro had showcased their Fortnite-themed Nerf guns that included the AR-L Elite, SP-L Elite, TS-R Super Soaker, HC-E Super Soaker, and the RL Super Soakerand was successful on its initial release. This time, they will be focusing on a more historic gaming franchise, announcing three Halo-themed Nerf guns to come out around Fall.
The company has partnered with 343 industries to release a wide range of Nerf guns and blasters, which are inspired by Halo games, including the upcoming new game Halo: Infinite.
What does the lineup include?
This all-new lineup of Nerf guns includes the Halo SPNKr MicroShot. Based on the in-game double-barrel rocket launcher with the same name. It fires a single-shot and comes with two darts. The Halo Needler MicroShot will also be arriving, along with a single shot Nerf gun that fires dart one at a time, and of course, comes the Nerf Halo MA40 Blaster which is the highlight of these three blasters and was actually designed to give players an idea of what it will look like in Halo Infinite and will come with 10 darts and a clip mechanism that is built to automatically feed the projectiles into the gun's chamber, though this blaster is a single-fire and not a fully automatic weapon.
When will these new Nerf guns be released?
These Halo-themed Nerf guns will all be released on Oct. 1, which will also concur with Halo: Infinite and Xbox Series X release in Holiday 2020.
Prices are pretty much your standard when it comes to themed Nerf guns. The Halo SPNKR Blaster and Halo Needler Blaster will be tagged with $9.99 while the MA40 Blaster in $49.99
Hasbro's Nerf lineup has already collaborated with a bunch of other brands, including Overwatch and Star Wars.
Halo is centered on a series of video games that is managed and developed by 343 Industries. It is an interstellar war between humanity and a group of aliens dubbed as the Covenant, which are led by religious leaders named the Prophets that worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners.
Although little is known about the new upcoming game, Halo: Infinite release, it is expected to arrive on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC later this year, following the release of Halo: Master Chief Collection which features all the games in the franchise and was released on PC which everyone was crazy about. Eventually, it became one of the most played games on Steam, aside from being a popular classic first-person shooter game.
Players have now been hyped up and are excited about the Nerf guns coming out soon, with Halo: Infinite's release, this might be a great way for Xbox to end the year.
