We’ve been anticipating Hasbro's release of Beyblade Burst ever since it was announced at New York Toy Fair in February, and today we got the first glimpse of its release … in the form of a mistakenly-released iOS app.
If you haven't already been reading posts around the site, we've recently learnt about some pretty interesting updates:
Details on Hasbro's version of the Beyblade Burst App!
While similar in someways to Takara Tomy's own Beyblade Burst app, it is also very different in most.
Unlike Takara Tomy's app that simply adds basic functionality and code-scanning on top of the website, Hasbro's app introduces a battling component — which obviously gives off a similar vibe to BeybladeBattles.com — as well as Stats, a virtual Store, Battle History and Beyblade Levels.
By selecting one of your four Beyblades, tap the crossed swords. You are given the options of Training, Multiplayer and playing in a Tournament style (which both aren't released to the public just yet).
When the Training option is tapped, you are given the choices of facing either a Custom Opponent, a Random Opponent or a Recent Opponent (which will lead you to a page with previous customization you've played).
The rules to win are pretty easy to learn. First to three points: Burst Finishes are worth 2 points and Survivor Finishes (outspinning the opposing Beyblade) 1 point.
To adjust your Launcher, slide it across the screen to your liking. While the feature is there, however, it really isn't entirely useful or necessary to win a BeyBattle. To launch, fill the meter below by tapping the needle when it enters the ''hot zone''. This will give you the edge in stamina as well as a spin bonus.
There are also other ways to get the upperhand in battle. These include Energy Orbs and Avatar Attacks.
Name Changes!
With the new Beyblade Burst app came with it a ton of name changes!
Valkyrie is renamed Valtryek.
Spriggan is renamed Spryzen.
Kerbeus remains unchanged.
Ragnaruk is renamed Roktavor.
Deathscyther is renamed Doomscizor.
Horusood remains unchanged.
Odin is renamed Odax.
Neptune is renamed Nepstrius.
Unicorn is renamed Unicrest.
Wyvern is renamed Wyvron.
Victory Valkyrie is renamed Valtryek V2.
Storm Spriggan is renamed Spryzen S2.
Kaiser Kerbeus is renamed Kerbeus K2.
Rising Ragnaruk is renamed Roktavor R2.
Layers are renamed Energy Layers.
Discs are renamed Forge Discs.
Drivers are is renamed Performance Tips.
Survive = TS01
Revolve = TS05
Press = TD04
Massive = TD02
Fusion = TB01
Edge = TS03
Defense = TD01
Blow = TA03
Accel = TA01
Zephyr = TB02
Variable = TA06
Unite = TB03
(S, D, A and B presumably stand for Stamina, Defense, Attack and Balance.)
Central = D08
Boost = D01
Armed = D10
Wing = D05
Spread = D06
Ring = D09
Oval = D13
Limited = D04
Knuckle = D02
Heavy = D07
Gravity = D03
All of these pieces are available in game.
While some of the names pretty interesting, we haven't really seen any amazing reactions to them. Most of these will be definite changes for those who had adjusted to the original names. Doomscizor was without a doubt the craziest to most!

That's it for now, Bladers! What do you think of all these new — yet overwhelming — changes? Hopefully we'll be seeing some physical ones at stores in the near future!
