THE 3 MUSKETEERS REVEALED

Hexa Pinball today released full details of their second title, The 3 Musketeers, based on the famed novel by Alexandre Dumas.

The title of the game was announced last October along with a teaser video, but no further details were given until today’s full reveal. The game was planned to be unveiled in dual events at the Bouillon d’Art gallery in Bordeaux and at the Texas Pinball Festival in Frisco.

However, delays clearing customs in the US meant the game didn’t make it to Texas in time for the planned 4pm reveal.

Nevertheless, we can still bring you all the details here.

The 3 Musketeers is the follow up to Hexa Pinball’s launch title, Space Hunt. In the new game, the player takes on the role of D’Artagnan as he completes challenges and trials in an attempt to prove his worth to join king Louis XIII’s trio of musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. He is hindered in his endaevours by the evil Cardinal Richelieu and his secret agent, Milady de Winter. Both appear on the playfield with the latter represented by a bash toy under a lift ramp.

There are three modes of gameplay – normal, competition and simple – along with the ability to pause the game at any time, and achievement tracking through the company’s Plungr app.

The 3 Musketeers is available in two versions. The Classic Edition costs €7,890 (excl. VAT), while the upgraded Elegance Edition costs €10,390 (excl. VAT) and is limited to 200 units.

Here are the different features of the two versions:

As the game is not based on any existing movie or animation, all the audio and video assets are original creations by Hexa Pinball. Artwork is by Tristan Fallon, while the music comes from Hervé Coussillan.

Let’s take a look at the playfield.

The game has both a flyer and a product specification sheet. Here are both:
