Whoa, the pinball teasers are coming in Fast and Furious lately (no a FNF pin isn't coming...at least not that I'm aware of lol). It's a pinball release battle royale. Minutes after Stern Pinball's announcement of the Foo Fighters launch schedule, Jersey Jack Pinball updated its Facebook cover photo with the following message... "Take your place at the table March 2023" With one brief statement JJP seems to have confirmed that the long-standing rumor that Godfather is the company's next game is indeed true despite recent questions about Harry Potter and that it will be show off in March, which is right around the corner. I'll share any new updates about the game here when they're available.
