A little later than usual (or perhaps just fashionably late), but just like spring, our next update has finally arrived. And much like the season itself, this update brings a fresh wave of new tables blooming into the game.

As the days grow longer and everything starts coming back to life, we’ve been busy behind the scenes polishing the engine, fixing a few lingering issues, and preparing a new batch of tables to roll onto the playfield. So while the flowers are starting to bloom outside, a whole new collection of pinball experiences is blooming inside the game as well.

This update includes several improvements and fixes to make the gameplay smoother and more stable:

  • The engine timing system has been redesigned, making it more precise and reducing micro-stuttering.

  • Shadowing and light scattering on the ball have been rewritten to create a more realistic visual effect.

  • Fixed a rare freezing issue, improving overall game stability.

  • Fixed the Global 1 Million achievement, so players who haven’t earned it yet can now unlock it properly.

  • Improved the level-up reward display, which now clearly shows the category of the unlocked item.

  • Fallen Aces game time bonus has been fixed, giving everyone a little extra chance to rack up points.

  • Fallen Aces and Blood West Solid State score panels have been updated to Solid State style.

  • Tournament now supports 90 sec mode, so you can enjoy short bursts of competitive play in official and custom tournaments.

This update also introduces several new tables to expand the Zaccaria Pinball collection.

Chernobylite Table Pack

This update also introduces a brand new licensed pack based on the atmospheric sci-fi survival game Chernobylite.

Set in the haunting world of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Chernobylite blends survival mechanics, exploration, crafting and supernatural mysteries into a unique experience where every decision matters. Players explore the Zone, gather resources, build their base, recruit companions and face strange anomalies shaped by radiation and the mysterious mineral known as chernobylite.

Our pinball adaptation brings this eerie world to the playfield. The tables glow with subtle neon-green radiation tones, and instead of the real-world disaster site, you’ll be exploring the surreal and dangerous version of the Zone seen in the game itself.

As always, the pack arrives in four different pinball eras each offering its own interpretation of the world of Chernobylite.

Chernobylite Retro

The Retro version captures the atmosphere of the Zone with a clean and classic playfield design.

Familiar sights appear across the table like the iconic Pripyat city sign, rusty cars and a crossbow ready for silent survival in the wasteland, reminding players that the Zone is never truly safe.

It’s a simple but atmospheric table where classic pinball gameplay meets the haunting mood of a deserted city.

Chernobylite Solid State

The Solid State table introduces more action and game-inspired objectives.

Masked stalkers wandering the irradiated Zone. The gameplay revolves around several missions inspired by the survival elements of the original game. Players can craft weapon modifications, gather companions, improve the comfort of their base and face mysterious threats like the Ancient Shadow or a dangerous Black Stalker encounter.

This table captures the tension of surviving in the Zone while keeping the faster pace and energy of the Solid State era.

Steam post image Chernobylite Remake

The Remake version dives deeper into the survival mechanics of the game.

Here the playfield becomes a journey through the Zone itself. Players must explore dangerous locations while managing hunger and scavenging valuable resources such as scrap, alcohol, chemicals, filters and medkits. Skills can also be upgraded along the way, improving abilities like organization, stealth, precision and survival instinct.

Several gameplay modes reflect the unpredictable nature of the Zone, including Monster Hunt, experiments with dangerous radiation effects, and exploration challenges where every resource matters.

The main objective revolves around survival itself. Players must endure seven days in the Zone, each day bringing new challenges and dangers across the table.

Chernobylite Deluxe

The Deluxe version expands the experience into a full adventure inside the Zone.

The playfield comes alive with numerous 3D characters, including Igor, the game’s protagonist, and the mysterious violinist, alongside several companions who may join your journey.

Players will craft useful items such as lock picks, revolver ammunition, metal plates, anti-radiation ointments, first aid kits and even powerful experimental weapons like the railgun. Survivors can also recruit companions including Olga, Mikhail, Olivier, Tarkan and Shashko, each helping the player endure the dangers of the Zone.

Radiation levels constantly fluctuate between low, medium, high and extreme, forcing players to adapt while upgrading their base with improvements.

EM+ Table Pack 4

After exploring the dangerous anomalies of the Zone, it’s time to shift gears back to classic pinball roots.

This update also introduces EM+ Pack 4, bringing four brand-new EM+ tables. These tables focus on clean layouts, score-chasing gameplay, and fast objectives that reward precision and timing

Nautilus EM+

Nautilus takes players on a deep-sea adventure where classic EM gameplay meets an ocean-themed playfield. Chase fast shark ramp combos, build multipliers by spelling S-E-A, and collect sea-inspired bonuses like FISH, DIVE, and OCTOPUS while completing underwater objectives such as Blue Wave, Coral Reef, and Submarine Bay. It’s a compact but lively table full of aquatic challenges and classic pinball action.

Zankor EM+

Zankor throws players into a dark fantasy adventure filled with skulls, spiders, and dangerous paths. Build up your score by spinning the Dragonfly spinner, collecting FANG and SKULLS bonuses, and burning the W-E-B targets to clear the path ahead. Complete perilous objectives like Snake Lair, Spider Queen, and Skull Island while chasing multipliers and kickbacks in this mysterious EM-style quest.

Pinball Champ EM+

Pinball Champ is a fast-paced score chaser built around classic pinball competition. Spin up points with multiple spinners, build multipliers through bumper hits, and increase eject hole rewards as you push their value all the way up. The main challenge is collecting the 1-20 number sequence by knocking down drop targets and hitting the center target, turning every shot into a step toward bigger and bigger rewards.

Soccer Kings EM+

Soccer Kings brings the excitement of the pitch straight to the pinball table. Score points by hitting spot targets, bumpers, and spinners, while activating special bonuses like Left Wing, Right Wing, and the massive Tie Bonus. Complete all main objectives from Striker Move to Yellow Card to rack up points, with extra rewards and a ball save. It's a fast-paced, skillful game that keeps every shot feeling like a game-winning goal.

Hot Wheels Deluxe

Buckle up and get ready to burn some rubber with Hot Wheels Deluxe! This table turns every flipper flick into a high-speed thrill, packed with turbo loops, ramp combos, and gear-based multipliers. Rack up points by hitting bumpers, spinners, and eject holes, chase skillshots, and lock balls for adrenaline-pumping multiball action. Complete modes like Start, Overtake, Block, and Finish to max out your score and don’t forget those mini games for bonus points that’ll really put the pedal to the metal.

For those who love a great soundtrack, the awesome music tracks from this table are available separately if you own the Zaccaria Pinball - Original Soundtrack DLC.

As always, we hope you enjoy discovering and mastering these new tables.

Happy flipping, The Magic Pixel Team
