The Force Is With Star Wars Pinball, the Latest From Zen Studios

When it came to making pinball games based on the Star Wars franchise, Zen Studios chose to do rather than do not – since there is no try.

The company announced yesterday, through a partnership with LucasFilm, that it is producing a set of ten tables based on the popular space franchise.  Three of those tables will be releasing this month, based on excellent subjects.  We’re going to get a Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back table; a table devoted strictly to intergalactic bounty hunter Boba Fett; and a table based on events in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  The remaining seven tables haven’t been detailed yet, but will be revealed over the next few weeks.

The tables will be released across the board for a number of platforms, including PlayStation 3 and PS Vita; Google Play; Mac App Store; the regular App Store for iPad and iPhone devices; and Pinball FX 2 on Xbox 360.  Wii U was not mentioned amongst the platforms, but look for confirmation once Zen Pinball 2 releases in Nintendo’s eShop.  It’s bound to come.

We’ve included a trailer below for your viewing pleasure.  It’s brief, but you can just feel the Force is strong with this one.

We’ll have a preview soon!
