Stern Pinball has spent the last several years crafting technologically advanced machines that showcase new and exciting features. However, the company is committed to honoring its beloved classics and ensuring they remain a part of the pinball community. With this in mind, Stern has partnered with AMC Networks to create a fresh take on one of its most cherished machines.
Introducing *The Walking Dead Remastered* — a revitalized version of the original *Walking Dead* pinball machine that is debuting at various locations starting today. This new edition is designed to captivate a new generation of pinball players while staying true to the spirit of the classic game.
Built on Stern’s cutting-edge SPIKE 3 technology platform, *The Walking Dead Remastered* boasts a range of exciting enhancements. Players can expect updated features such as a new version of the Cell Block C prison building, a revamped bicycle girl ramp, an interactive Well Walker piece, and a redesigned crossbow that shoots the pinball into play.
The SPIKE 3 platform also brings significant technical improvements, including a more powerful processor, clearer high-fidelity audio, and upgraded 3D-rendered graphics displayed on an impressive 18.5″ HD screen. Alongside these visual upgrades, the new table introduces dynamic lighting effects that add to the immersive experience.
Despite these modernizations, Stern remains focused on preserving the classic feel of the original game. John Borg, co-designer of the original *Walking Dead* pinball machine, returns to lead the design team. Together, they have introduced new gameplay rulesets that challenge players to battle through iconic Walking Dead locations and encounter various characters from the series.
Adding to the authenticity, Michael Rooker (Merle) and Danai Gurira (Michonne) have contributed their voices to the game, enhancing the overall atmosphere and player engagement.
As with all Stern Pinball releases, *The Walking Dead Remastered* will be available in Premium and Limited Edition versions. The Limited Edition features an updated Expression Lighting System and Speaker Expression Lighting System, providing an even more immersive and visually stunning experience for dedicated collectors and players.
