Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast August 2026 recapThe seemingly endless stampede of new game releases continues. After multiple game announcements last month, we have another three to report this month. So, join Jonathan and Martin as they bring you all these details and much more in the latest August 2026 edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast.
This month’s PINcast was delayed by a few days in order to cover the reveal of Stern Pinball new Fallout game.
Part cornerstone, part studio release, Fallout is the latest Keith Elwin design and takes elements from both the hugely popular computer game and also the Amazon TV series. The upper models incorporate both an upper playfield and a lower playfield, as well as a rocket launcher and opening vault door. All this comes at a cost though. So, find out what that is, where you can play it, and even where you can see Keith talk about the making of his new Fallout game.
If Fallout is beyond your reach, Stern have also released a more affordable Home Edition Plus model of their Pokémon game for exclusive sale through Costco in the US, which seems to have been warmly received by those who played it.
Having confirmed their plans to build it back in March, American Pinball have now revealed the first of their ‘reimagined’ remakes with their Cirqus Voltaire game. Available in Classic and enhanced Ringmaster editions, both models update the 1997 Bally classic with modern technology and assorted beautifying touches.
They may have started making it a decade ago, but there’s life in The Big Lebowski yet, as a new Jesus Edition demonstrates. Themed around the purple-clad bowling nemesis, the limited run of 300 machines adds new gameplay features which will be rolled out to existing Lebowski machine owners.
Last month’s PINcast covered the reveal of Barrels of Fun’s new Bon Jovi game, but this month the band’s three concerts at London’s Wembeley Stadium were the perfect excuse to bring the game to the UK, taking a detour via the UK Pinfest show. Martin was there and played it.
There’s also a new game – the 30th – for Multimorphic’s P3 pinball platform, as Deluxia Studios release their Carni-Ball Night retheme for the Weird Al playfield module.
Jonathan and Martin also look at the relationships between Pinball Brothers, Pedretti Gaming and Euro Pinball, with Pinball Brothers’ CEO explaining what he’s been busy working on.
Along with building a new factory, Turner Pinball have launched their PinAccess score and achievement tracker. It’s not only for their own titles either, as American Pinball have integrated PinAccess into their new Cirqus Voltaire. You can even buy the game through PinAccess, get preferential delivery times and save up to $500 on shipping.
But there’s still much more to report in this month’s PINcast, including the latest code releases, more details from this year’s UK Pinfest show and how to book discounted rooms for next year’s show, the first gameplay from Wonderland Amusements’ Turtles game, and a look ahead to what will be at this year’s Pinball Expo.
