Next American Pinball Rumors

American Pinball once planned for two releases a year -- they've never quite hit that level, sticking with a pace of about one title a year. Like Jersey Jack, American Pinball rumors are few and far between. Complicating things with American Pinball in 2025 is their status as a viable manufacturing company, having endured a couple rounds of deep staffing cuts. Cuphead is rumored to be next, but will anyone be around to build it?

Next Multimorphic Pinball Machine Rumors

Multimorphic is known for its unique take on Pinball machine production with its P3 gaming platform. Multimorphic began life in 2009 as a hobbyist control system that would allow pinball fans the ability to run custom code on existing machines. The popularity of this control board called the P-ROC, would eventually enable founder Gerry Stellenberg the ability to start producing full games starting in 2012, with its first production run completed in 2017.

‍

Multimorphic is a much harder company to track for a list like this. They don't do a ton of licensed theme work (Weird Al being a notable exception), and a lot of their recent "releases" haven't been releases of their own, but rather releases by third-party developers like For Amusement Only Games. That said, occasionally we'll hear a thing or two about an upcoming game from Multimorphic, and when that happens we'll be sure to add a note here.
