The September edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast sees Martin from Pinball News and Jonathan from Pinball Magazine bringing us two new game reveals, lots of new pinball products, the latest code updates, and a special guest in the latest edition of What’s Cooking with…?. September 2025 PINcast Last month Stern Pinball teased their next cornerstone title, but now we get the full reveal of Star Wars: Fall of the Empire. Stern hosted another Media Open Day two days before the official reveal to give media folks the chance to play the new game, talk to the design crew, and prepare assets in advance of launch day. The second new game comes from newcomers Deluxia Studios with their Nezzex City mini-game for the Multimorphic P3 platform with the Heist! Playfield module. This immersive new title is available to download now and comes at an attractive price. Moving from new titles to designs up to half-a-century old, an upcoming auction sees many concept, prototype, and draft playfield, backbox and cabinet artworks from the ‘80s and ‘90s going under the hammer. Also up for auction are various molds for playfield models found on popular Bally & Williams games. Find out what’s available and how you can get a piece of pinball history. There’s lots of new code for games from Stern, Spooky and American Pinball, plus a new online score and achievements tracking system from HEXA Pinball which they hope other manufacturers will buy into. Pinball Expo is only a few days away, so Martin and Jonathan bring you not just one member of the Berk family but two. Brigitt Berk brings us her recipe for Apricot Chicken – a quick and easy-to-prepare dish which always goes down well – in the What’s Cooking with… feature, but also reveals how she first met her future husband, Expo Chairman, Rob Berk, as well as giving us a taste of the preparations she has been working on for Expo. Then, Rob Berk tells us what he’s been cooking up for this 41st Pinball Expo, with numerous special games and equally special guests heading to Schaumburg. Covering the full gamut of years from the 1930s right up to the very latest releases, together with a huge homebrew section helping find the designers of tomorrow, tournaments, seminars, vendors and hundreds of free play games, it’s the “something for everyone show”. There’s also news of a new publication from cartoonist Ryan Claytor, more Roger Sharpe branded apparel and how to get discounted tickets for next year’s Texas Pinball Festival.
