Zen’s New Pinball Platform Includes Five Terrifying Tables Coming Fall 2023
San Francisco, CA– August 31, 2023 - Get ready to tilt into terror with Zen Studios’ latest creation, Pinball M! Today, Zen announced a brand-new digital pinball platform designed for horror fans. Pinball M will transport players into a world of terror, where every flick of the flipper could either lead to disaster or to their victory. Pinball M is expected to begin terrorizing its players on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Epic Game Store, and Nintendo Switch soon.
Pinball M will launch with five horrifying tables inspired by world class IPs, including: Chucky’s Killer Pinball in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms, Dead by Daylight Pinball in collaboration with Behaviour Interactive, and Zen’s own Wrath of the Elder Gods Director's Cut.
To round out the launch, Zen is also developing two other tables that will be revealed later. Each Pinball M table is fully loaded with gameplay designed to keep players on the edge of their seats, and each table features assets inspired by their source material for an authentic experience.
The terror doesn’t stop when the game is over! Pinball M introduces a new nerve-rattling Play Corner feature in the table menu, which immerses players in a 3D environment that’s themed to match each table’s horror-inspired design. The wickedly fun customization options will make each Play Corner unique. Players can craft their own personal corner of horrors in the game with eerie decorative elements which can be earned through gameplay. With Play Corners, they’ll be drawn deeper into the terrifying world of each pinball table, and they may never want to leave.
“We are thrilled to bring this new pinball platform to our players with a killer lineup of new licensed tables,” said Mel Kirk, COO of Zen Studios. “Over the years there have been many mature themes that we’ve wanted to explore on our pinball tables. Pinball M allows Zen to fully embrace M-rated source material and create authentic pinball experiences based on our favorite horror and irreverent themes.”
