Stern Pinball has revealed its next themed machine: Foo Fighters. The band’s arrival follows a teaser trailer, with the company expected to share the complete details shortly.

The game appears to be designed by Jack Danger. Zombie Yeti may be handling the artwork, as both creatives shared the trailer, although Stern had not confirmed the full creative team at the time of the announcement.

A personal connection to the theme
Foo Fighters is a relatively unusual Stern band theme for this editor, as the band is one of the few featured acts represented in the personal CD collection. At least one Foo Fighters album is still on the shelf, even if it has been some time since the collection was checked.
Until Stern publishes the full rules, artwork and hardware information, the teaser leaves the central question open: will this Foo Fighters machine become a standout theme for pinball operators and fans?
