Quoted from SLCpunk2113:

Stern doesn’t make remakes but I also notice the awkward “Yet I” phrasing.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Godzilla,
It's going to be Godzilla.
I sourced the reasons for my speculation below.
1. It is widely believed that Stern has this specific license. We know that Spooky went after the license and was rebuffed https://www.thisweekinpinball.com/twip-spooky-pinball-no-godzilla-license-franchi-on-munsters-and-or-beatles-pinburgh-stream-when-will-we-see-deadpool-more/. There is heavy speculation Spooky and Stern got in a bidding war over this one, and I think we can all agree Stern has more resources than Spooky https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/spooky-godzilla.
2. There have been hints I've seen from supposed insiders, "it's going to be a monster of a game". https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vote-stern-titles-on-backorder-2020#post-6004004 If true, the monster theme would line up perfectly here.
3. Release would line up or would have lined up with original planned release date of new Godzilla movie originally schedule for November 30th, 2020, now releasing in May 2021. https://www.ign.com/articles/godzilla-vs-kong-hbo-max-streaming-option-after-netflix-failed-offer. This changed release date did not occur until June. I don't know how long the supply chain is in Pinball manufacturing, but Stern may have already been committed to ordering parts for production by this time.
4. Stern has a solid history of building pinball machines previously licensed by it’s ancestor companies, Data East and Sega. It has built Jurassic Park, Batman, Star Wars, Simpsons, Star Trek, Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, WWF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_released_by_Data_East https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sega_Pinball_machines There was a Sega Godzilla machine released in 1998. https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/godzilla
For these reasons I'm guessing it is going to be Godzilla. Not only do we "know" Stern has this license, but there have been hints from supposed insiders that its a monster game, and the timeline lines up with the original release of an accompanying movie.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Honestly I’m not even a Franchi super fan and there are other artists outside the pinball sphere that I think out do him BUT he is head and shoulders a better visual artist than Martinez any day of the week. It’s not preference of style, it’s the near perfect execution of all of the rudimentary concepts in illustration. Figure drawing, composition, color theory, handling of light, dynamics, typography etc etc etc He checks all the boxes and he is highly regarded for a reason.

Quoted from ExSquid:

I’m out until a game with the letters a , j , w, and s comes out.

Quoted from TreyBo69:

How do you think Tom DeLonge would feel if a Blink 182 pinball machine was about ufos and chasing big foot? Because a game about UFOs and cryptozoology could be fun

Quoted from Capn12:

P.S. - No one cares about your opinion on what could be the next game.

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

I think they should say "Choose your host. Change the game" more.

Quoted from ejg10532626:

Why is this not brought to the front and center of all of these debates?
South Park - Part 2.
Choose any of about 10 long term themes from the later seasons (Tegridy farms would be mine).
K.Elwin designs.
Can you say - free money?
When the first game is widely collected AND a suck game AND the theme's still solid........
