JULY 2025 PINCAST
Pinball News
After the recent flurry of new game announcements, Martin from Pinball News and Jonathan from Pinball Magazine begin this month’s Pinball Industry News PINcast with two re-releases of existing titles.
July 2025 PINcast
Stern Pinball have gone back to revisit their Jaws and Star Wars games. In the case of Jaws it’s a blood-red treatment for a new 50th Anniversary Edition of the Premium model, while their Star Wars Home Edition gets a ‘Plus’ upgrade and a price cut as it goes on sale in selected Costco stores in the US.
As last month, the third new game announcement is for Multimorphic’s P3 pinball platform. Row Mania, from Neil Wilson, uses the Drained playfield module in an EM-inspired mini game which is available to download right now.
Also working on their next title was game designer, Jack Danger. However, he’s stepped back from that project to become Stern’s new Head of Community, in which role he will create multi-platform promotional material, act as Stern’s brand ambassador and return to game streaming both for Stern and under his own Dead Flip channel brand.
After the success of their Evil Dead title, Spooky Pinball are now looking to hire a new software developer. There’s also production updates and news of when we might expect their next game to be announced.
Another pinball manufacturer working on a new title is Hexa Pinball in France. They’ve got their team back together to build the first prototype of the follow-up to Space Hunt.
Barrels of Fun are planning a rerun of their own. This time though it’s a repeat of the factory tour they held at the Houston Arcade Expo last year. Visitors to this year’s show get the opportunity to take the tour and see how they build the Dune game.
The topper for Dutch Pinball Exclusive’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was already pretty impressive, but now game owners can enhance it further with a new topper expansion kit from The Electric Playground.
Meanwhile, there’s news about the ‘other’ Alice in Wonderland game, this time from Wonderland Amusements who have been showing off their new production-quality moulded playfield components. They have big plans for Pinball Expo in October and even hope to be shipping games by then.
Although it’s a relatively quiet month, there’s still plenty more industry news to report, along with details of the new features added with the latest code updates.

Even in the middle of summer there’s so much happening in the pinball industry, and so much more excitement coming up. So, join Martin and Jonathan each month to guarantee you don’t miss any of it.
After all, it’s the podcast the pinball industry listens to.
