Stern Pinball has spent the last several years creating technologically advanced machines that showcase new and exciting features. However, the company remains committed to honoring its beloved classics. With that in mind, Stern has teamed up with AMC Networks to launch a new version of one of its most cherished machines.
**Introducing The Walking Dead Remastered**
Starting today, The Walking Dead Remastered is making its way to various locations, ready to captivate a new generation of pinball players. This updated machine is a modernized take on the original Walking Dead pinball game, now powered by the cutting-edge SPIKE 3 technology platform.
**What’s New?**
The Walking Dead Remastered includes a host of exciting enhancements:
– A redesigned Cell Block C prison building
– A revamped Bicycle Girl ramp
– An interactive Well Walker feature
– A redesigned crossbow that shoots the pinball into play
Thanks to the SPIKE 3 platform, the machine also boasts a more powerful processor, clearer high-fidelity audio, and upgraded 3D-rendered graphics displayed on an 18.5″ HD screen. These technological improvements bring the game to life like never before, with new lighting effects and visual upgrades.
**Staying True to the Classic Feel**
While the enhancements are extensive, Stern remains focused on preserving the feel of the classic table. John Borg, who co-designed the original game, returns to lead the design team for this project. Borg and his team have introduced new gameplay rulesets that immerse players in various iconic Walking Dead locations and introduce them to different characters from the series.
Adding to the authentic experience, Michael Rooker (Merle) and Danai Gurira (Michonne) have lent their voices to the game, further enhancing its immersive storytelling.
**Premium and Limited Edition Versions**
As with all Stern Pinball releases, expect to find both Premium and Limited Edition versions of The Walking Dead Remastered. The Limited Edition features an updated Expression Lighting System and Speaker Expression Lighting System, providing an even more immersive audiovisual experience for pinball enthusiasts.
The Walking Dead Remastered melds nostalgia with next-generation technology, promising fans an extraordinary pinball adventure they won’t want to miss. Stay tuned as it continues to arrive at venues near you!
