Stern Pinball, Inc., a leading name in arcade entertainment, has announced its thrilling new line of pinball machines based on the globally acclaimed John Wick franchise. In collaboration with Lionsgate, these John Wick pinball machines promise to immerse players in the high-octane world of the legendary assassin. Featuring film-inspired artwork and mechanical features, alongside Stern’s groundbreaking dynamic AI combat system, the John Wick pinball experience is available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models, catering to all levels of pinball enthusiasts and John Wick fans.
Step into the shoes of John Wick himself in these meticulously designed pinball games. Players are thrust into Wick’s relentless fight against his past, navigating high-speed car chases and executing skillful drifts across a playfield that brings iconic franchise locations to life. Spotlights shine on the New York Continental Hotel and the infamous Red Circle Club, all set against a dramatic, edge-lit New York City skyline. A standout feature is John Wick’s weapons crate, which players can open to reveal a hidden shot target path, arming themselves with an arsenal of weaponry. Strategically utilize the sculpted Blood Oath Marker, but be warned – misuse comes with consequences. Survival hinges on outmaneuvering relentless assassins, completing assignments for the shadowy Factions of the High Table, and ultimately tackling John Wick’s “Special Assignment!”

Revolutionizing the pinball experience, the John Wick pinball machines introduce Stern’s brand-new dynamic AI combat system. This innovation brings the frenetic and tactical combat seen in the John Wick films directly into the game. Unlike traditional pinball machines where lights are controlled by player actions, timers, or random number generation, this system features a primitive video game AI. Enemy icons dynamically illuminate around the playfield, reacting to player behavior to create a unique and challenging experience each game. This advanced system ensures enemies move strategically, countering player objectives and demanding adaptive gameplay. Adding to the immersion, a new action video player dynamically mirrors player actions – defeat three enemies, and you’ll witness iconic clips of John Wick mirroring your in-game prowess on the screen.

Enhancing the immersive atmosphere, the John Wick pinball games are enriched with high-quality film and audio assets woven seamlessly into the gameplay. Adding to the star power, critically acclaimed actor Ian McShane, known for his role as Winston in the John Wick films, provides custom narration, guiding players through the underworld. The pulsating action is further amplified by an original score composed by Charlie Benante, renowned from Anthrax and Pantera, ensuring an adrenaline-pumping auditory experience. For collectors, the Limited Edition models offer an extraordinary piece of cinematic history: fragments of John Wick’s iconic suits, used during film production, are included as franchise artifacts, courtesy of Lionsgate, adding unparalleled authenticity. Visually, the games are striking, featuring original neo-noir style paintings by the acclaimed artist Randy Martinez, perfectly capturing the franchise’s aesthetic.
