There’s been a ton of breaking Beyblade Burst news over the past few days, and now that we got our hands on this month’s CoroCoro — the monthly Japanese magazine that features Beyblade in it every month — so we thought it’d be helpful post a summary of everything. Warning: big images ahead, as these are full-sized magazine scans.

Here’s what we’re going to go over:

We got our first detailed look at Xeno Xcalibur .M.I (Magnum Impact). Priced at ¥1,500, it’s slightly more expensive than the average Beyblade Burst starter set. Which makes sense, considering there’s nothing average about what’s inside:

As was previously known, Xeno Xcalibur is the first Layer to have a three-layer construction. A large golden sword, a clear red middle piece, and an icy-blue base that features several aggressive-looking spikes projecting outwards.

[*]A new disk, Magnum, which is the first Disk to also feature an attached plastic layer. It’s impossible to guess how it will perform, but it seems clear that the idea is that the Disk can be used as a method of attack as well as the Layer.

[*]Finally, the new Impact Driver features a Y-shaped rubber tip dissected by plastic. The image in CoroCoro depicts an unusual movement pattern, but of course, it’s impossible to draw any conclusions about its real-world performance before we get our hands on it.

We also finally have some more information on the mysterious Sword Launcher and Sword Winder that come with Xeno Xcalibur. It appears to be similar in design to the winder-based Light Launcher, with a built in grip that the winder passes through. Evidently, rotating the Sword Winder will allow you to switch between “Power Mode” and “Control Mode.” We don’t currently know how each of these modes will function.
Xeno Xcalibur .M.I will be released early at the World Hobby Fair, with a general release on July 2nd.

Also coming in early July is Random Layer Booster 3, featuring the prize Layer Jeir Jormungand, a green Evileye, red Yggdrasil, yellow Victory Valkyrie, and white Kaiser Kerberus. These are obtained in ¥400 vending machines in Japan, but some retailers do sell complete sets.
Arriving as a prize for the digital Rare Bey Get Battle is a new Dual Layer Beyblade, βaldur .β.β (Baldur written with the beta-symbol, as Amaterios was stylized with the alpha symbol as αmaterios αero αssault). Not much is known about it at this time, but we do have photos of all three of its parts available:
It will be available as the Rare Bey Get Battle prize on June 25th.

This month’s release is Obelisk Odin .T.X. which releases on June 18th. Since Obelisk Odin was the prize of Random Layer Collection Vol. 2, it’s not a new part — nor is Xtreme, which debuted with Xcalibur Force Xtreme last December. The only new part is Triple, a round disk with three projections.

However, this is the cheapest way to get Xtreme, a top-tier part that wears down over time. It’s also the cheapest Burst booster ever, being sold at a special promotional price of just ¥550 (compared to the regular price of ¥900).

Finally, we come to what’s perhaps the most shocking news of the month. We’ve known for a while that a new chapter of the original Bakuten Shoot Beyblade manga — featuring old characters like Takao (Tyson) and Rei — but it was revealed this month that there will also be 100 Driger S Burst Beyblades produced, advertised with a darkened photo of what is unmistakably the original Driger S design remade as a Burst Beyblade.
Unfortunately, only 100 of these gold Driger S Burst Beyblades will be produced and given away as lottery prizes. It’s unknown whether it will ever be made more widely available. But we can all hope.
