Stern Pinball has announced that its latest line of pinball games will feature the characters and setting of one of the most iconic motion picture thrillers of all time – “Jaws.” Players will experience the original trilogy of films like never before, with brand-new mechanical features inspired by iconic movie moments and state-of-the-art technology. The new pinball machine will debut at Stern Pinball’s boot at CES 2024.
“Jaws” brings players to the beloved, fictional locale of Amity Island, where they play as Quint Stern, who is looking to help Amity Island save the Fourth of July from deadly shark attacks. As the grizzled fisherman, tackle the most dangerous ocean creatures on the planet. Heart-pounding tension mounts as you fire pinballs at a motorized “Shark Fin” target with “blood in the water” animated lighting effects. Anticipation builds as you navigate the “Orca Boat” upper playfield, featuring a “Lookout Tower” ramp, ship’s wheel horizontal spinner on the deck, and “Radio” stand-up target to call for help, but lookout! A motorized custom sculpted “Great White Shark” bash toy comes crashing through the bottom of a fishing boat, terrorizing players in this thrilling pinball odyssey.
In addition to immersive film and audio assets integrated into pinball action, “Jaws” includes custom speech performed by actor Richard Dreyfuss and the iconic movie theme music by John Williams.
“Honoring one of the greatest movies of all time, we’re giving ‘Jaws’ our most modern software and hardware to date,” said Seth Davis, President & CEO, Stern Pinball, “We can’t wait to debut this game’s terrifying and surprising gameplay to the world!”
“Jaws” pinball games include Stern’s award-winning Insider Connected™ system, which enables players to interact with the game and a global network of players in a variety of ways. Through Insider Connected, players will be able to track their progress, hunt Achievements, take on special “Jaws” Quests, and work on their Bounty Hunter rank.
“Jaws” pinball is available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models. Each game has a suggested retail price of $6,999, $9,699, or $12,999 respectively.
