Walking Dead Remaster is a 2025 Stern Pinball remake of the original Walking Dead pinball machine, built on the SPIKE 3 platform and designed by John Borg. The remaster was announced around Pinball Expo 2025 and released in late 2025, featuring updated code, new artwork, and integrated Insider Connected technology. However, the release has been marked by significant technical issues (CPU board freezes), controversial design choices (green color palette, letterboxing on LCD screen, incomplete animations), and poor market reception with underperforming LE sales and limited distributor orders.
