Posted on by

Zen Studios continues to expand the Pinball FX universe with a steady stream of DLC tables that blend nostalgia, pop culture, and inventive gameplay. Whether you’re a Trekkie, a tabletop gamer, or just someone who wants to score goals on a giant spinning soccer ball, there’s something here for you. Let’s dive into the latest packs and see which ones deserve a spot in your digital arcade on Xbox.

Williams™ Pinball: Star Trek™: The Next Generation

This table is a love letter to fans of The Next Generation. From the moment you hear Patrick Stewart’s voice as Captain Picard, you know you’re in for an authentic experience.

Highlights:

  • Eight missions aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D
  • Original voice-overs from eight cast members
  • Photon Torpedo shots and Warp Speed ball delivery sequences
  • Holodeck shuttle simulation and hidden secret modes

The table nails the balance between fan service and pinball challenge. Reaching Warp Factor 9.9 feels like a true achievement, and the layered missions keep you coming back. For Trekkies, this is easily one of the crown jewels of the Williams collection.

Game Night Pinball Volume 1

Zen Studios teams up with Asmodee to bring three beloved tabletop games into pinball form. Each table captures the spirit of its source material while adding clever mechanics.

  • Terraforming Mars Pinball: Manage resources and “terraform” the playfield by raising oxygen, heat, and oceans. A strategic table that rewards long-term planning.
  • Gloomhaven™ Pinball: Dark, dungeon-crawling vibes with missions that mirror the board game’s mercenary quests. Expect multi-stage battles and a satisfying sense of progression.
  • Exploding Kittens® Pinball: Pure chaos. Collect Tacocat, Cattermelon, and other cards while dodging pinball “explosions.” It’s silly, fast, and perfect for quick sessions.

This pack is a standout for variety—each table feels distinct, and the crossover appeal is huge for board game fans.

World Cup Soccer

Originally a Williams classic, this table brings the energy of a global tournament to pinball.

Table Goals:

  • Score goals past the goalie for big points
  • Trigger a TV Award after your 4th goal
  • Spin the giant soccer ball with skill shots
  • Face off against 15 World Cup teams in Multiball
  • Win the final match to become the World Champion

It’s a fast, approachable table that’s easy to pick up but tough to master. The giant spinning soccer ball is a showstopper, and the progression through teams adds a fun sense of narrative.

Honor and Legacy Pack

This pack features two Zen Originals that lean into storytelling and atmosphere.

  • A Samurai’s Vengeance: A cinematic journey through feudal Japan, complete with training sequences and a climactic duel against Maou.
  • Verne’s Mysterious Island: A Jules Verne-inspired adventure where you must survive natural disasters and uncover secrets before lava consumes the island.

Both tables feel like mini action-adventures disguised as pinball. They’re less about licensed nostalgia and more about immersive, original storytelling.

Jurassic World™ Pinball

“Life finds a way”… and so does pinball. This three-table pack is a dino-sized treat.

  • Jurassic Park™ Pinball: Relive iconic moments from the original film, including the T. rex breakout and raptor kitchen scene.
  • Jurassic Park Pinball Mayhem™: A chaotic, action-heavy table featuring a playable Stegosaurus mechanic.
  • Jurassic World™ Pinball: Train Raptors, witness Mosasaurus feeding, and escape the Indominus Rex. The Gyrosphere pinball mode is a clever twist.

This pack is pure blockbuster fun, with each table offering a different flavor of dino mayhem.
