After 3 decades, the Black Knight is back in Stern Pinball’s Black Knight: Sword of Rage. First appearing in the 1980s, the titular Knight may be pinball’s greatest adversary, especially in the 1989 sequel where he taunted players with delightfully ’80s-sounding robotic callouts and maniacal laughter.
In an upcoming 2019 game revealed today, the Black Knight will take his most prominent place in the game yet, with a massive, animated figure placed prominently in the playfield, thwacking pinballs back at the player with a flail and defending against your shots with a miniature shield.
Check out the first trailer for Black Knight: Sword of Rage below:
The first two Black Knight games were notable for their upper playfields, a raised wooden playfield in the rear of the game accessible via ramps and other methods with its own flipper and set of targets to shoot for.
