To quote Stern Pinball’s latest game, John Wick “Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back!” This is my fourth article so far this weekend :).
Speaking of Stern, I’m hearing that they are set to reveal their next cornerstone game in early to mid-August. That’s super cool because it means more for us to talk about. I can’t want to see what’s next. If I had to make an educated guess at this point, I’d guess that we will get an X-Men ‘97 pin from Jack Danger. Of course, it’s not like Stern is giving me this information directly so it’s not 100%, but I feel pretty good about it.
Stern’s game after that will be revealed around the time of the Chicago Pinball Expo, which takes place from October 15th through the 19th. That game is definitely designed by John Borg. It most likely will be the long-rumored remake of Stern’s 2013 game Metallica.
Since I started this article off with a John Wick reference, I’ll leave you with a video of the man himself, Keanu Reeves, playing his own game - Stern John Wick at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday. How cool is that?

Excited for this one! Can go next to our X-Men Arcade 1up!
Pic of Keanu Reeves playing John Wick at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 is spectacular. Looks like he knows his way around a pinball machine. Nobody is brave enough to offer to play John Wick for a contract.
The long 11 month wait for another Marvel theme has finally come to an end. 🙏🏻
