Stern Pinball, Inc. announces its newest line of pinball games featuring the world\u2019s greatest assassin,\u00a0John Wick<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Created in collaboration with Lionsgate, players will experience the thrilling and action-packed billion-dollar grossing\u00a0John Wick<\/em>\u00a0franchise with film-inspired mechanical features and artwork alongside Stern\u2019s all-new dynamic AI combat system.\u00a0John Wick<\/em>\u00a0pinball games are available in Pro and Premium models. The\u00a0John Wick<\/em>\u00a0film franchise is produced by Thunder Road\u2019s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, along with franchise director Chad Stahelski through his 87Eleven Entertainment production company.<\/p>\n

In Stern\u2019s\u00a0John Wick\u00a0<\/em>pinball games,<\/em>\u00a0players step into the role of the world\u2019s greatest assassin as he fights to escape his past. As the titular character, players can engage in high-speed car chases and fast-action drifting across the playfield, which incorporates models and artwork inspired by iconic locations from the franchise, including the New York Continental Hotel and the Red Circle Club, all set against a dramatically edge lit New York City skyline. Players can also open John Wick\u2019s weapons crate to reveal a hidden shot target path to retrieve an array of weapons. Players must use the sculpted Blood Oath Marker carefully \u2013 or risk the consequences. Players need to survive other assassins, complete jobs for the legendary Factions of the High Table, and eventually take on John Wick\u2019s \u201cSpecial Assignment!\u201d<\/p>\n

To raise the stakes,\u00a0John Wick\u00a0<\/em>pinball introduces Stern\u2019s all-new dynamic AI combat system, an innovation that brings the frenetic combat of the legendary films to the game. The Stern team has created a primitive video game AI system to control the enemy lights on the playfield, setting the\u00a0John Wick\u00a0<\/em>pinball games apart from prior pinball machines, where all lights were controlled by player actions, timers, and random number generations. In this new AI combat system, enemy icons are responsive to player behavior and will illuminate dynamically around the playfield to challenge the player. The enemies move tactically with this dynamic software to counter player objectives, creating a unique challenge in each game session. The system also features a new action video player that dynamically reflects player action \u2013 as you defeat three enemies, you\u2019ll see video clips of John Wick doing the same in the films!<\/p>\n

Accompanying the high-quality film and audio assets woven into the gameplay,\u00a0John Wick<\/em>\u00a0pinball games will include custom narration by critically acclaimed actor Ian McShane as Winston and an original score composed by Charlie Benante of Anthrax and Pantera fame. The\u00a0John Wick<\/em>\u00a0pinball games will feature original neo-noir style paintings illustrated by acclaimed artist, Randy Martinez.<\/p>\n
