At at first I thought the blaster might be non scope. I gotta tell you, I sort of liked that idea...

But then I saw the scope...

I think it's the same, or at least similar to TFA blaster and that the scope is concealed on the other side of the gun. Also, look at that crazy falcon! No mandibles, just a solid triangular front

First look at Solo movie Han’s blaster: no scope?

First thing I though but it appears to have the scope knob on the top so I assume it’s just the art. I do notice that it appears we actually will see a Greeblie when the silver mystery disc would be.

Here is the TFA version. At this angle we have a similar effect

Wow, you all posted super fast. I edited my original post about the unseen scope when I released I saw the scope in the actual teaser.

Wow, It almost looks like they used that for the artwork.

Chris Miller (former director) posted this photo on 5/4/16. This could've been during pre-production or could be from the set of TFA? I'm not well versed in blasters, but remembered the photo.

That's the section of the Falcon that Han had to remove in order to drop the Kessel Run record time from 14 seconds, down to 12 seconds!

That looks like the TFA blaster.
It has the notch in the magazine and the two set screws on the bottom of the bull barrel sleeve.

Yes, that is the TFA blaster or made to look like the TFA blaster.
Question remains, is it the blaster in Solo?

This was the second or 3rd teaser picture the first two directors posted
