Williams' game Medieval Madness is considered by many to be the greatest pinball machine of all time. Williams originally produced 4,016 of them back in 1997. It was so in demand that Chicago Gaming Company (CGC) remade it in 2015, then remade it again with the "Royal Edition" in 2019 and is remaking it AGAIN with a 1,000 unit run of "Merlin Edition" games this year.
Word is that demand for the latest run of the game has been so strong that distributors have been asking CGC to build more than the 1,000 machines that it announced. Chicago Gaming has begun polling distributors to see how many games they would order if it built more Medieval Madness Merlins in 2026. They are also floating the possibility of producing more Standard Edition games, without the topper and powder coating, again.
No official decision has been made yet on the 2026 production run, but it sure sounds like one will happen to me.
