Is Nerf
still made?
Confirmed through Hasbro’s current Nerf catalog and 2026 product announcements.
The short history
The Nerf name began with a soft foam ball in 1969. Foam launchers later became the defining memory, turning hallways and backyards into temporary arenas with projectiles designed for play.
What survived
Brightly colored launchers firing lightweight foam projectiles remain the signature play pattern.
What changed
The line now uses multiple dart systems, licensed themes and performance tiers that are not universally compatible.
Current versions
Current Nerf products span multiple blaster families, projectile types, licensed collaborations and foam sports gear. The name is continuous, but the systems are not all interchangeable.
