System Shock Pinball Hacks into Pinball M and Pinball FX
Zen Studios and Nightdive Studios team up for a chilling sci-fi pinball adventure
SAN FRANCISCO – Feb. 15, 2024 – Flip to the death in the depths of space! Zen Studios is proud to announce the arrival of the System Shock Pinball table for Pinball M and Pinball FX.
As the Hacker from Nightdive Studios’ acclaimed System Shock remake, players will plunge into the iconic Citadel Station and face off against the malevolent rogue AI SHODAN’s legion of cyborgs, mutants, and reprogrammed robots. The table lets players jack into the Cyberspace Terminal on an innovative mini-playfield, which recreates the iconic sights, sounds, and threats from the world of System Shock.
System Shock Pinball joins Pinball M’s already illustrious launch library of terrifying expansions — alongside Chucky’s Killer Pinball, Dead by Daylight™ Pinball, The Thing Pinball, Duke Nukem’s Big Shot Pinball, and Zen’s own creation: Wrath of the Elder Gods: Director’s Cut.
“Nightdive Studios absolutely killed it with their 2023 System Shock remaster, and we jumped on the chance to stage another visit to Citadel Station,”’ said Mel Kirk, COO of Zen Studios. “‘This collaboration is the merging of passion projects by both Zen and Nightdive, and it has been a lot of fun working together.”’
System Shock Pinball is available now for $5.49 for Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. To offer greater value to players for their continued support, the purchase of the System Shock Pinball expansion on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store grants access to both an M-rated version playable through Pinball M and an age-appropriate version through Pinball FX. The base versions of Zen Studios’ Pinball M and Pinball FX platforms are free to download.
