Zen Studios also placed a strong focus on helping players become more competitive, and have designed new single-player modes featuring special challenges that will help players develop their skills as they connect with the Pinball FX3 community.

Since 2007, Zen Studios has set the standard for video game pinball. The Pinball FX series balances authentic physics and gameplay mechanics with features that fully embrace the unlimited potential of video games, such as spectacular visual sequences and unparalleled competitive features. Just like traditional pinball, table subject matter includes everything from original takes on themes like sci-fi and fantasy to some of pop culture’s most iconic brands, such as Back to the Future, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Aliens, The Walking Dead and more.

Two new exciting tables based on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, coming to Pinball FX3 on April 17.

With one table based on the overall plot of the film and another more focused on Luke Skywalker’s hideaway on Ahch-To Island, the Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi pack will be available for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Windows 10, as well as on the App Store, Google Play, and Mac through the Zen Pinball and Star Wars Pinball apps.

Both tables in the Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi pack reimagine memorable moments from the film in an interactive way only Pinball FX3 can deliver, from fast-paced pinball action to an advanced leaderboard system and RPG-like progression. Sound effects straight from the film complement an authentic Star Wars soundtrack, as animated 3D models bring everything to life. Join Luke Skywalker, Rey, Finn, Chewbacca, R2-D2, BB-8 and Captain Phasma—even Porgs!—in galaxy-spanning antics from the far reaches of the Outer Rim to Luke’s hideaway in the Unknown Regions.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Survive a First Order onslaught as the Resistance, train Rey in the ways of the Force on Ahch-To, and defend Finn from Captain Phasma, blasting away at stormtroopers as BB-8. Jump a ramp to shoot down TIE fighters, fight off Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer, and teach Rey that the Force isn’t just moving rocks!

Star Wars: Ahch-To Island – Luke Skywalker (reluctantly) welcomes you to his secluded hideaway. Train Rey in the ways of the Force, convince Luke to join the Resistance and help Chewbacca deal with some Porg problems. You’ll even get a taste of everyday life on the island as Luke, including reminiscing about his Rebellion days through R2-D2’s hologram projections. And when the lights go off during a multiball mode? Let’s just hope the Force is with you…

“We at Zen are happy to celebrate five years of making fan-favorite Star Wars Pinball tables,” says Mel Kirk, VP of Publishing at Zen Studios. “Once our Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi pack is released, players will be able to choose from no fewer than 16 robust tables set in that iconic galaxy far, far away. We’ve built an incredible community over the years, and we hope to keep pleasing them through Pinball FX3 for years to come.”

Key Features:

• Now every table is an RPG. Simply playing a table yields experience points and level advancements that continually unlock the potential for bigger points…and bigger blowouts of your friends’ scores on the leaderboards. Strategic thinking comes into play when determining which power-ups to equip—one table might be best suited for a Skillshot Score Increase and Multiball Score Bonus, while another might better benefit from Combo Time Bonus and Distance Bonus team-up.   
• Players level up. The more you play, the higher your own personal experience level increases.
• Anyone can start their own tournament. In addition to tournaments run by Zen (often involving fantastic prizes), Pinball FX3 allows players to create and customize their own tournaments, including access to several modes of play.  
• Advanced multiplayer features allow for intelligent matching against others based on skill level. This applies to everything from immediate friendly matches to ultracompetitive League Play.
• Cross-play enables Nintendo Switch players to take on opponents competing on most other platforms where Pinball FX3 is available.
• New game modes will change the way you play even tables you feel you’ve already mastered. Playing a 1-Ball Challenge, a 5-Minute Challenge or Survival Mode will cause you to completely rethink your approach in order to top the leaderboards.

Pinball FX3 is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
