After a successful premiere in Asian territories in 2023, the brand’s latest iteration will showcase a new animated series and exclusive experiences for Beyblade fans. Longtime toy partner Hasbro Inc. will release Generation 4 products worldwide later this year.
“Bey-fans around the world have embraced 3-2-1 Day, and this year, we’re especially thrilled to celebrate with the generations of fans, as we kick off our 25th anniversary,” said a representative from ADK Emotions NY. “With the highly-anticipated U.S. launch of the Beyblade X animation series this summer, Bladers will be ready to battle like never before!”
The brand’s 25th anniversary activities for 2024 include the global launch of the Beyblade X animation series this Summer, the new Beyblade X toy line from Hasbro, which introduces the X-Celerator Rail gear innovation, allowing Tops to speed into high gear for explosive battles. In addition, Bey-fans can look forward to the expanded availability of Beyblade Park on Roblox, a digital community for Bladers to unite, and exclusive content across the brand’s social media channels.
The new Beyblade X animated series will introduce new characters to popular anime world inspired by the battling top experience.
Synopsis: Amateur Blader Robin Kazami finds himself out of a team when he is ditched by his friends after a crushing defeat. Lucky for him, a chance encounter with former champ Jaxon Cross leads these two unlikely teammates to join forces. Jaxon intends to climb back to the top of The X under the alias “Blader X” and challenge his old teammate and current champ, Khrome Ryugu. When they find a third team member in mega-popular influencer Multi Nana-iro, the newly-formed Team Persona set their sights on going pro and claiming their spot at the top.
Bey-fans can also experience the next generation of Beyblade toys from Hasbro. Beyblade X offers Tops identical in weight, feel and performance across Hasbro and Takara Tomy, along with additional Hasbro Tops that meet the same high standard. The new line features the Beyblade X Xtreme Battle Set, which is the perfect starter, packed with all a Blader needs to begin their quest for Beymastery: the Xtreme Beystadium arena, two right-spinning Tops and two launchers with ripcords. For ages 8 years and up, MSRP $49.99, available Summer 2024.
The Xtreme Beystadium features the new X-Celerator Rail Gear System to level up your game. When the gears of the Top engage the stadium rail, the Top can super-accelerate into an Xtreme Dash, rocketing around the Battle Zone for breathtaking bursts and colossal crashes.
The three interchangeable blades, ratchets and bit layers of Beyblade X Tops are easy to assemble and reassemble with a quick twist and two clicks, leaving you ready to launch into battle. Use the two launchers to unleash Tops in a frenzy of fury, or mix and match the interchangeable pieces of other Beyblade X Tops to create your custom Bey. Other Beyblade tops are sold separately, subject to availability.
Fans can also take their Beyblade skills to digital battles: Scan the code on Beyblade X Tops to battle in the Beyblade X app with other Bladers worldwide.
Beyblade X toys will be available at Amazon, Target, Walmart and other major retailers this summer.
Fans can extend the celebration of 3-2-1 Day and join tournaments in select locations in the U.S. and Canada to battle with the best Bladers and win exclusive prizes. Tournament participants can also test out the new Beyblade X Tops before they hit retail shelves.
With the successful launch of Beyblade Park on Roblox last year, with more than 4 million visits worldwide, the land will undergo a major renewal for fans to indulge in, simultaneous to the global launch of the metaverse world.
