If you like retro arcade games, they don’t come much more retro than pinball machines. The history of which can arguably be traced back to the 1930s!
And since 2007, arguably the best video game version of pinball has been Zen Studios’ Pinball FX.
17 years on, Pinball FX is still hitting all the the targets, with “bumper” updates and new tables aplenty, and the latest franchise to launch as a table on Pinball FX is Pacific Rim, with a table based on the enjoyable Pacific Rim series of kaiju movies launching onto Pinball FX on 16th May 2024.
Here’s what to expect from Pacific Rim on Pinball FX… you can play through all the excitement of the first Pacific Rim movie and use your pinball skills to strengthen the link between Raleigh and Mako while resisting the double event of Leatherback and Otachi – if you can get the ball to the bumpers you may even drift with the Kaiju! Wield those flippers well and you might even overload the reactor of Gipsy Danger and seal the Breach once and for all.
Pacific Rim Pinball becomes available on 16th May for Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
