Horror-Themed Pinball Game ‘Pinball M’ Announced for 2024, Will Include Licensed Tables Such as ‘Child’s Play’ and ‘Dead by Daylight’ [Trailer]

If you’ve already mastered Devil’s Crush and the more recent Demon’s Tilt, and are looking for your next challenge with a horror-based pinball video game, Zen Studios are ready to capitalize on that with their newly-announced title, Pinball M. Revealed at the recent MIX Next Online Showcase, the game is currently in development for the PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Pinball M will launch with five tables inspired by several IPs, including a Child’s Play-inspired Chucky’s Killer Pinball, Dead by Daylight Pinball in collaboration with Behaviour Interactive, and Zen’s own Lovecraft-inspired Wrath of the Elder Gods Director’s Cut. The other two tables will be announced at a later date. The game will be a free platform download, with tables available as in-game purchases.

Each table is “fully loaded with gameplay designed to keep players on the edge of their seats”, featuring assets inspired by their source material to complete the experience.

As a unique addition, Pinball M will have a Play Corner feature in the table menu that’s designed to immerse players in a 3D environment that’s themed to match each table’s design, with several customization options. Players will even be able to craft their own personal corner of horrors in the game with decorative elements which can be earned through gameplay.

“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.”

Edutainment Horror Game ‘Amanda The Adventurer’ Coming to PS5, Xbox and Mobile This Year

Published

Eight months after arriving on the Nintendo Switch, DreadXP and developer MANGLEDmaw Games have announced that their edutainment horror game Amanda The Adventurer will be getting PlayStation, Xbox releases, as well as releases on Android and iOS later this year. The announcement comes as the teams continue their work on the upcoming sequel.

In Amanda the Adventurer, you are Riley Park. Riley has inherited their Aunt Kate’s house following her death. Starting with the seemingly banal task of digging through their reclusive aunt Kate’s attic, Riley comes across multiple VHS tapes. At first glance, the videos seem innocently childish and charming, depicting two best buddies—Amanda and Wooly—in an edutainment-styled escapade that features that 90’s-style CGI.

As Riley watches more and more episodes of the titular Amanda the Adventurer, a creeping, sickening feeling emerges that something is watching back. Riley soon realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set. Despite internal pleas to stop, Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something…and upsetting her wouldn’t be a wise choice.

You can also find Amanda The Adventurer on PC via Steam.
