News Yukon Yeti Pinball Production Set To Begin; TOTAN Shipping Next Week?; The Dungeon Crawler Carl Mystery & More k knapparcade July 5, 2026 I hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend. A surprising amount of news has come out over the past couple of days. I thought about waiting until a weekday to write about it (when I'd likely get more views), but old news is lame so here we go. First up, we have an update from the Texas-based Turner pinball, maker of Ninja Eclipse and Merlin's Arcade. According to a social media post by the company's founder, Chris Turner, the Company is set to begin production of its third game, the Dennis Nordman-designed unofficial sequel to White Water - Yukon Yeti, this week. In other exciting news from Turner, they are ready to pour the foundation for the Company's new factory. In the picture that they shared, it looks a lot bigger than I expected. Very exciting. " We’ve been busy behind the scenes, and I wanted to share a couple of exciting updates! 🏗️ We’re about to pour the foundation for our new Turner Pinball facility. ❄️ Yukon Yeti officially goes into production this week! Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸 I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend, and stay tuned... there are lots more updates to come." Below is a picture of the factory construction in progress and a couple of pictures of the game that I took earlier this year. !Advertisement Ad 1 of 3 Appropriately for the 4th of July weekend, American Pinball, shared a couple of pictures of its factory in action on social media. These pictures weren't dated, but I assume that they are recent. If so, it looks like Galactic Tank Force and Houdini are currently on the production line at American's Palatine, Illinois facility. The Dungeon Crawler Carl (DCC) pinball rollercoaster continued this weekend. After thoroughly convincing myself that the game is coming from Barrels of Fun (after speaking with someone with knowledge of the situation last week), over the past several days, two knowledgeable people, mnpinball on Pinside and the Electric Bat's Cale Hernandez, both stated that the Barrels is NOT making the game. Hmmmm. One thing we do know for sure is that DCC pinball is coming, according to recent social media posts by both the series' author Matt Dinniman and artist Luciano Fleitas. Here's another recent DCC-related social media post that didn't get as much attention as those posts...over the weekend industry figure and designer of three pinball machines, Scott Danesi, shared an image of his Dungeon Crawler Carl coffee mug on social media. Scott has designed three pinball games so far, Total Nuclear Annihilation and Rick and Morty by Spooky Pinball, and most recently Final Resistance pinball for...wait for it...Multimorphic's P3 platform. Very interesting. is Scott designing a DCC module for Multimorphic? We should find out which company is designing this game very soon. Word through the grapevine is that Multimorphic is going to show off its next game late this week or sometime next week. Over the weekend we also got our second look at extended gameplay of Pedretti Gaming's upcoming Tales of the Arabian Nights Remake, courtesy of Nevada Pinball. I have embedded the YouTube video of it below. New sponsor slot Your sponsored ad here Be the first to claim this placement.
