Breaking News:
Okay I have a somewhat inside source here is what I'm hearing.
Stern has been releasing three games a year, and they're already at two this year with Black Knight and Munsters. That means there is only one more game coming from them. You will see that game in October and it will be Elvira 3. So the breaking news if what I'm being told is true is there will be no JW or Stranger Things. This makes sense because there is no reason what so ever to push out J World because the move came out a year ago now, and the next one isn't out until 2021. Common sense would tell you, would be nice to hitch a ride on that train.
I think you're going to see Elvira in October at Chicago, then in the winter you'll see Stranger Things.
Here is what I learned, in the old days, a pinball company only had one line, they made one game, today Stern makes multiple games. Currently they have everything from Beatles, Deadpool, Black Knight, Munsters, Guardians, Batman, Star Trek, Star Wars all these games on the line. They have orders from all these games and their lines are tied up until late summer, September. They're a business about making money not new pinball games every few weeks.
Lastly, a lot of these places that have bought games, honestly they're running out of room to take on more games, there is already a lot to choose from. If Stern started making 4 or 5 new games a year they're doing nothing but cannibalizing themselves, they know the market.
So here is the bottom line Stern is probably not going to be releasing a new title until October when you'll see Elvira. Use some common sense here... are they really going to release a game here in August then turn around 2 months later and release Elvira.
I doubt it.
So we can pretty much stop going nuts and just look towards October for Elvira 3. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but that is what I've learned.

Quoted from Goronic:

But why the big announcement type news at comic-con for a big coming soon pitch?!

Quoted from Psw757:

Could it be some special run? A vault?

Quoted from Morhaus:

Your source should read Stern's press release announcing the unveiling of the next pin at the SD event.

Quoted from Owlnonymous:

Good reasoning here drfrightner, but Stern literally has announced that they are releasing a new game...

Quoted from Morhaus:

This sounds so reasonable, but I don't want to believe it. I am curious that nothing has leaked about a new theme, so it just adds to that logic.

I will say however I'm scratching my head somewhat... who planned these titles to release in this order? Munsters old 60's horror/comedy tv show, Black Knight an old 90's game with a gothic theme, and then Elvira another 80's comedy horror title. Where is the straight up comedy mixed it or adventure movie or something? Odd it would go down like this.
Maybe somewhere between they announce a vault like putting another game into production like Tron, but that won't be anything new. I think the next new game will be in October Elvira 3.

Quoted from wlf_:

GoT Vault? Series finale, new code, etc. If it ever happens now's the time... update the art catch the last GoT buzz...
In the Deadflip code update stream, when anyone asked Dwight about it being rereleased, he made a comment or two along the lines of "I can't speak about the rerelease...", rather than saying "I'm not sure if theres a rerelease" which could be read as it is happening he just wasn't allowed to talk about specifics.
Would make sense for a ComicCon audience too

Quoted from tpir:

Can't wait to see what they announce. Will be fun to come back to these predictions afterwards and see who has the good sources

Quoted from dondon4720:

So apparently the Jaws license is just for the shark I think they should do a Sharknado pin instead

Quoted from Sinestro:

Hey Einstein, Elvira isn't a cornerstone pin. It will be a pricey, botique style pin, ala Batman '66.
This July reveal will be the third cornerstone pin.

Quoted from KnockerPTSD:

Holy crap. 13hrs away. 120+ posts plus another 120+ in the other Stern release thread. I thought we got a bombshell dropped but it's just a bunch of other guys as overly excited as myself lol
At least I'm not alone

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Stern makes 3 Cornerstone titles (Pro/Premium/LE) a year.
Elvira is no Cornerstone title.
Additionally Munsters may not count for 2019.

I heard it's My Little Pony?

Quoted from SadSack:

No. It's Bronies!

Quoted from Roostking:

How do you know? Serious question, as you post seemingly fact. How do you know?

Quoted from Coindork:

I hope its a re-theme of Pabst Blue Ribbon into Colt 45 with Billy Dee Williams on the translite.
This is a way better use of Lando Calrissian than a Star Wars home version.[quoted image]

Quoted from delt31:

here's what you should believe.
it's jurassic
Question is......
park or world?
I hope park. Day 1 if so. DAY 1
