CHICAGO, IL – July 18, 2024 – In collaboration with Lionsgate, Stern Pinball, Inc. is bringing John Wick to San Diego Comic-Con where fans may play the new pinball game, check out exclusive merchandise, and view movie props used in connection with the actual filming of John Wick!
In Stern’s John Wick pinball games, players step into the role of the world’s greatest assassin as he fights to escape his past. As the titular character, players can engage in high-speed car chases and fast-action drifting across the playfield, which incorporates models and artwork inspired by iconic locations from the franchise, including the New York Continental Hotel and the Red Circle Club, all set against a dramatically edge lit New York City skyline. Players need to survive other adversaries, complete jobs for the legendary Factions of the High Table, and eventually take on John Wick’s “Special Assignment!” John Wick is set apart from other pinball games with Stern’s all-new dynamic AI combat system, an innovation that brings the frenetic combat of the legendary films to the game.
John Wick pinball will be featured at Stern’s long-standing Pop-Up Arcade, located outside the convention center at the Marriott Marquis, along with several other beloved Stern Pinball titles. Additionally, fans won’t want to miss the official props from the John Wick universe that will be available for viewing at the Stern Pinball booth, located on the show floor.
After going head-to-head with enemies, fans can get their hands on exclusive John Wick merchandise, including John Wick x Stern Pinball T-shirts and a limited-edition LP album featuring the game’s original score, signed by composer Charlie Benante of Anthrax and Pantera fame. Come quick – there will only be 500 copies of this limited-edition LP album sold onsite!
“Together with Lionsgate, we’ve created a thrilling, action-packed game that truly embodies the John Wick universe,” said Seth Davis, President and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc. “We hold San Diego Comic-Con close to our hearts, and we’re having a blast working with Lionsgate to bring the franchise to this community in a new and exhilarating medium.”
