    Zen Studios Smuggles Solo: A Star Wars Story Content Into Pinball FX3 This September




    You might wanna buckle up, baby. That’s right, three new tables inspired by Solo: A Star Wars Story™ are landing in our galaxy on September 12, just days ahead of the film’s home entertainment release. Star Wars™ Pinball: Solo Pack includes new digital tables inspired by the film itself and beyond. The pack will be available for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Windows 10, while the Zen Pinball and Star Wars Pinball apps will host each table individually on the App Store, Google Play, and Mac.

    Star Wars™ Pinball: Solo – It’s the digital pinball table that—for the first time ever in a video game—makes the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs (if you round down). Exciting 3D character and vehicle models roar to life as you relive all your favorite movie scenes from Solo: A Star Wars Story, from the grand Conveyex shipment heist, the speeder chase and piloting the Millennium Falcon, to meeting familiar faces like Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca.


    Star Wars™ Pinball: Calrissian Chronicles – Hello, what have we here? Live Lando’s life, from smooth-talking smuggler to Rebel hero who helped destroy the second Death Star. Missions in this table not only base themselves on iconic Lando movie moments, but also on his memorable appearances in Star Wars Rebels™ and Marvel’s Star Wars™ Lando (2015) comic book. More than 15 of Lando’s enemies enter the fray, as well, not to be outdone by team-ups with the likes of Lobot and Han Solo. Unless, of course, sabacc cards are involved—then it’s time to compete directly with Han… “fair and square.”


    Star Wars™ Pinball: Battle of Mimban – For the glory of the Empire! Deploy an Imperial army and lead it to victory against the fierce inhabitants of the planet Mimban. There will be no deserters in this rendition of the battle brought to life in Solo: A Star Wars Story where Han Solo met Beckett. And if there are? Feed them to “the beast” in the pit! Then, unleash devastating AT-DT attacks, take on enemy troops on an action-packed mini playfield, dirty things up further with a Mudball Multi-ball and more.


    We will be streaming first looks at each table in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for these details.

    May the Force Be With You!

              It's not like I expected the tables to come but even the Wii U had more tables then the Switch did and that was a failed console. You would think that Disney would welcome the tables on one of the most popular systems going right now.

              Zen should take it to Disney (as I assume that haven't because it's too much trouble) and get the Switch added as it would benefit all parties involved. More exposure for Disney and more money for all involved and happy Switch owners. Win win in my book!

                Why so many star wars tables, I own every table, I even bought the last ones but haven't even played them. Do they sell the best or something? I honestly hate star wars, and feel that the newer tables haven't been very good (I only enjoyed Boba Fett and Darth Vader SW tables). Not to mention we get every star wars movie as a table but didn't get the new avengers, deadpool 2, or a second guardians of the galaxy.

                    We don't have news about the Switch library expanding right now, as soon as we have anything we'll make sure to tell.

                    What I can say is that Switch support is really important to us, the console gave us a lot of awesome moments with people making use of the vertical mode, building mini cabinets etc., and we found a great new community of players amongst Nintendo owners.

                      Throughout history no betterment of change has ever occurred by anyone who just sat back silent and idle. That being said, I have a ps4 as well as a switch so I will be good.

                        I have learned from Zen over the years that this blanket statement is always said when something behind the scenes is being worked on. I could be wrong but I've seen this at least 3 to 4 times being a Nintendo fan.

                        Things were said in the past and then retracted for whatever reason be it disclosure issues or just not ready to show anything and our hopes get too high when those promises aren't delivered on we come crashing back down.

                          That doesn't sound anything like me at all

                            Well, these tables look to be up the the great standards of Zen Studios. That's a compliment! But, I have to say, I am so burned ot on Star Wars that I didn't even see this film. The Universal classics and Jurassic were good stuff, but the best FX 3 releases truly are SOZ and Adventureland... their own designs. I sound like a broken record on this. I know they feel the need to put alot of effort into their licenses, but frankly, any more Star Wars tables are probably going to diminish the awesomeness of all the tables you guys have made with the Star Wars theme already. I loved LAst Jedi and the Island tables, but it's gonna take a pretty good sale for me to get any more SW. Put out some more original ones. We got the great Castlestorm and Wild West years ago, and after a long wait, we got the amazing Zues and Adventureland. And in the interim of all this time, a zillion licenses. Zzzzzz
