'Pinball FX3' aims to "redefine" digital pinball games.
Pinball FX3
The upcoming pinball game is set to be released by Zen Studios for PlayStation 4 later this summer, and the developers have now said the game - which will replace 'Zen Pinball 2' - will aim to turn pinball "into a true community experience".
Zen Studios' Mel Kirk said in a press release: "Zen Studios has enjoyed a deep conversational relationship with the pinball community for over a decade. We have learned from each other, worked together, and developed a better game together.
"'Pinball FX3' is a milestone step forward for players on console and PC, and I am excited that many of our new features are suggestions from the community. We remain 100% committed to providing our players with an exceptional value, allowing them to bring their collection forward with them as we can all enjoy a host of new features and upgrades together from day one."
Meanwhile, a blog post uploaded to Sony's PlayStation blog states that users of 'Zen Pinball 2' will be able to transfer most of their in-game purchases such as table designs into the new game with no extra cost, as the developers work to "keep the community intact".
They said: "'Pinball FX3' is a massive game packed full of new features designed to turn pinball into a true community experience on PS4.
"Now, to answer the question burning in all of your minds: can you take your Zen Pinball 2 tables to Pinball FX3? Yes, you can! Zen Studios is 100% committed to keeping the community intact and providing you with one of the best values in gaming. We are happy to announce that you will be able to import the majority of your Zen Pinball 2 purchases to Pinball FX3 for free! We're giving you all of the new features and upgrades at no cost - and there are a ton of them, giving you reasons to never stop playing your tables. We like to think that Pinball FX3 is an endless ocean of replayability! (sic)"
'Pinball FX3' has no confirmed release date yet, but the developers claim it will be ready "this summer".
