Developer Zen Studios has announced that it has secured the digital rights to Williams and Bally’s full library of classic pinball tables, and that it will begin introducing them to Pinball FX3 soon.
The Williams and Bally license was previously held by developer FarSight Studios, and its popular Pinball Arcade game featured some of the manufacturer’s most beloved tables, including The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Tales of the Arabian Nights. However, in May this year, FarSight revealed that its licenses would expire at the end of June, and that all its Williams and Bally tables would be withdrawn from sale.
As for Zen Studios, the developer has already created tables based on some massive properties for its Pinball FX series – including the likes of Marvel, Star Wars, and Jurassic World – but these have all been original designs. The Williams and Bally license marks the first time that Zen has been able to recreate classic arcade tables in-game.
