Pinball arcade games have long been popular, but pinball video games definitely have an audience as well. Mix that with the massively giant property of Star Wars, and that can definitely entice even more players to the genre. Now Star Wars Pinball will be able to reach even more players when a virtual reality version gets released later this year.
Zen Studios’ original Star Wars Pinball launched in 2013, with pinball tables inspired by different films and shows across the franchise. Over the years, the game has been ported to different consoles and mobile devices, adding new content with each new entry in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars Pinball VR is developed by Zen Studios again, as well as the revived Lucasfilm Games, which will be involved with most Star Wars games going forward.
The announcement trailer showed off key gameplay elements, from different pinball tables to fully immersive minigames. At launch, the pinball tables will include ones based on A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Rogue One, Star Wars Rebels, and Star Wars: Masters of the Force. A Classic Collectibles table lets players earn different Star Wars action figures by completing certain missions. The Mandalorian gets its own pinball table as well, marking the second time the TV show has been incorporated in video games, after the Mandalorian was added to Fortnite.
The most impressive part of the reveal is the Fan Cave, the VR hub that players can customize. By playing through each table, players will be able to get different helmets, blasters, lightsabers, plus other items that they can use to make their Fan Cave their own.
Star Wars has openly embraced the thrill of virtual reality, releasing VR-only titles like Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, and games that have VR-support, like Star Wars: Squadrons. With this new announcement, it doesn’t look like the trend is stopping anytime soon. Fans of VR and fans of Star Wars will have plenty of options going forward, and the developers have already stated they plan to bring even more content to Star Wars Pinball VR.
Star Wars Pinball VR will release on April 29 for Oculus Quest, PlayStation VR, and Steam VR.
