Pump It Up Phoenix Arrives in Korea as Centaur Revisited Is Announced

Two notable arcade releases have surfaced: Andamiro’s latest Pump It Up rhythm game is now available in South Korea, while Haggis Pinball has revealed a modern production based on a Bally classic.

Pump It Up Phoenix 2023 launches in South Korea

Pump It Up Phoenix 2023 is the newest major entry in Andamiro’s long-running dance and rhythm series. The game has launched in South Korea, marking the first substantial new version in several years.

Andamiro USA has confirmed that Phoenix will also come to the United States, although no US launch timing has been announced. IAAPA 2023 could be a likely venue for a wider reveal, but the game may also arrive outside a major trade-show launch.

The extended wait makes Phoenix an important release for fans of the series. Its arrival will be worth following for operators and players watching the next generation of music games. See this tweet from Andamiro USA for the company’s US confirmation.

Haggis Pinball revisits Bally’s Centaur

Haggis Pinball has announced Centaur Revisited, a new pinball project inspired by Bally’s 1981 title Centaur. The project is presented as a modern reworking of the classic machine rather than a standard re-release.

The company published a detailed video presentation on July 4, which took to the web on July 4th. It discusses the two available editions and what prospective buyers can expect from each model.

The Beast Edition is limited to 250 units, with deposits available through Beast Edition here. The more feature-packed Orblivion Edition is limited to 50 units and can be ordered through the Orblivion version (50 units) can be ordered here.

Centaur has a striking visual identity, and this project gives that classic design a new place in the modern pinball conversation. Readers considering a pinball setup can also compare RETROCADE’s virtual pinball machines and learn more about choosing an arcade machine for home.

Pump It Up Phoenix 2023 brings a long-awaited new chapter to Andamiro’s rhythm-game series, while Centaur Revisited gives a distinctive Bally pinball design a new production. Both releases will be of interest to Australian arcade fans following international developments and future local opportunities.
