Marvel Pinball Avengers Chronicles Will Rewrite Videogame Pinball History
Los Angeles, CA – March 16th, in the year of our Lord
2012 – Zen Studios and Marvel Entertainment today
announced Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles, releasing this
spring as DLC for Pinball FX2 on Xbox LiveŽ Arcade, Marvel
Pinball on PlayStationŽNetwork, and a standalone download for
PlayStationŽVita. Each table in this brand new four-table pack
chronicles blockbuster events experienced by Earth’s Mightiest
Heroes.
Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles features four tables
designed to tell a more cohesive story from the actual comic or
movie material, while incorporating the most dramatic elements
as gameplay . Fans of previous Marvel Pinball tables will
experience a fresh approach to the critically acclaimed series,
including deeper character interactions, more dialogue, and the
most explosive action to date.
Table Overviews
Marvel’s The Avengers table reflects the events of this summer’s
highly anticipated blockbuster, pitting all six Avengers against
Loki’s invasion of Earth. Nick Fury commands the team of Iron
Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, each
character represented by a customized ball that echoes his or
her own appearance and power set.
Hulk Smash! After the Hulk’s banishment to outer space, he
returns to Manhattan to seek revenge against the Illuminati and
wage war against the X-Men, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four and
Doctor Strange in World War Hulk.
The Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock enlist Earth’s Mightiest
Heroes – including you – to recover the six Infinity Gems from
Thanos and save the universe in The Infinity Gauntlet. The
intense pinball atmosphere heightens as each Infinity Gem
produces a special effect on the table, such as literally
flipping the table upside down with the Reality Gem.
The Avengers must defeat Odin’s long-banished brother, the
Serpent, and free the world from the grip of chaos in Fear
Itself. Featuring a table design unlike any to date, Fear Itself
utilizes magnetic energy in ways no one has ever before
experienced on a pinball table.
“The collaboration between Zen Studios and Marvel Entertainment
is a brilliant display of passion, excitement and energy.
Avengers Chronicles represents a historic moment in videogame
pinball,” said Mel Kirk, Zen Studios’ Vice President of
Marketing and Public Relations.
Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles will integrate seamlessly
into Pinball FX2 on Xbox LIVEŽ Arcade and Marvel Pinball on
PlayStationŽNetwork, and be a separate, standalone download on
PlayStation Vita. The pack will feature Achievements and
Trophies, social leaderboard integration including in-game
scoring notifications, table guides and hot-seat multiplayer.
