The Wight Reaper Blaster is the first in the series developed in
a collaboration between Blizzard Entertainment and the NERF Rival
brand to bring the iconic Overwatch accessories to life. Fans of
the team-based action game will enjoy custom NERF RIVAL rounds with
the Overwatch logo that are specifically colored for each blaster.
The blaster will hold eight NERF RIVAL rounds, which it can propel
at up to 90 feet per second. It will be equipped with a
spring-action mechanism, a ready indicator, and a safety lock.
The NERF RIVAL OVERWATCH REAPER WIGHT EDITON blaster will launch
in 2019.
With a player base of 40 million, Overwatch’s wide appeal
continues to drive a robust merchandising program with brands like
NERF. Blizzard Entertainment first teased this collaboration on
Twitter on May 16; further details were unveiled during a panel
discussion at Comic-Con International: San Diego by members of the
Overwatch development team.
