Earlier today I wrote an article here that started out by saying that there is going to be four big pinball announcements / reveals during the month of October. As we already know, Mystery Pinball Company's Labyrinth (hey I figured out how to spell it) will be revealed on Friday, October 20th at 9:30 PM. That's #1.
Reveal / Announcement #2 is Pinball Adventures next game Elements, which it is supposedly bringing to Pinball Expo as well.
Onto Reveal #3...according to people who I have spoken with who are close to the company, we are going to see an unexpected (at least for me) appearance at Pinball Expo by Jersey Jack Pinball's next game! JJP's next pin is heavily rumored to be a fast-flowing Steve Ritchie-designed game based upon an Elton John theme. I've heard nothing but rave reviews of how this game shoots and how jam packed it is with stuff.
So when will we get to see the next JJP game? According to the Pinball Expo schedule, Jersey Jack Pinball has a seminar scheduled for Thursday evening at 8:00 PM Central. Look for the game to be unveiled then with Steve Ritchie, Jack Guarnieri and other members of the design team showing it off and talking about its development. Games will be available at Pinball Expo for the public to play.
On a personal note, I saw the dual Billy Joel / Elton John concert at Giant Stadium over two decades ago now.
This is a little sooner than I was expecting to see the next JJP game. Very exciting!
So that's October announcement / reveal #3. Reveal #4 will be a lot sooner than people think. More on that to come soon...
Do you know what reveal #4 is? Does it have a time traveling DeLorean?!
