Metaverse Team launches Nerf Strike FPS game for Roblox

A new startup called Metaverse Team is launching the first-person shooter game Nerf Strike on Roblox today. It uses various toy guns from Hasbro’s Nerf Blaster line as the weapons in the cartoon-style shooter game.

It’s another sign that Roblox, which went public in March at a $41.9 billion valuation, is attracting organized teams and game studios to a platform that started with user-generated content. Roblox’s valuation is, coincidentally, about the same as the HBO/Warner Media spinoff from AT&T, dubbed Discovery — one of the world’s biggest entertainment companies.
