Will the Next Game Released by Stern Pinball be a Surprise?

It seems to be pretty widely accepted at this point that we are going to get a Star Wars-themed game as Stern Pinball’s next cornerstone release later this year. I also expect that we will see some sort of Remastered release in the Fall, such as The Walking Dead or TRON. But what if we actually get something else “new” from Stern before that?
I’ve been hearing rumblings over the past couple of weeks that we may. June marks the 50th Anniversary of Jaws. I’ve heard that next month Stern is going to release a special Anniversary Edition of Keith Elwin’s 2024 pinball machine Jaws.
Universal Studios is launching a celebration of the anniversary of the iconic film on June 20th. A special Anniversary Edition of the original movie is going to be released on June 17th.
I suspect that Stern will release a new Jaws pin sometime in June that features new art, similar to what they did with the Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Edition game.
So, Surprise! Of course, my normal disclaimer is in effect here. This is based on rumors and nothing is certain until it actually happens. I’m not making this up, but I reserve the right to be wrong occasionally 😂. Having said that, I feel pretty good about this one. We’ll see…
Another original theme from Stern. For the love of God, make something different. The boutiques are gonna put you out of business
I'd be into a JP30th treatment for Jaws 50th. No interest in the weird colorways like GZ70 or EHOH Red. Cool for those that like those looks, but I like color.
Would be amazing to see a Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition. If that happens, I will likely punt King Kong LE and have the Elwin anniversary trifecta with my JB 60th and JP 30th.
That would be great and help with regret I have for selling my Jaws LE a few months back. Show me the way to go home ...
