# Galactic Tank Force is the Next American Pinball Machine
by [Colin Alsheimer](/author/colin) · February 25, 2023 · [News](/news/category/news)

> It wasn't much of a secret before, but it's definitely not a secret now! Galactic Tank Force is American Pinball's next pin.

We've had [Galactic Tank Force](/pinball-themes/galactic-tank-force-pinball) (aka Space Tanks) in our [rumor roundup](/post/upcoming-pinball-machines) and [Hype Index](/hype-index) for some time, and for those who follow the pinball industry closely, it wasn't exactly a well-kept secret that Galactic Tank Force was going to be [American Pinball's](/pinball-manufacturers/american-pinball) next pin, their 5th overall and first major release since Hot Wheels in 2020 and Legends of Valhalla in 2021 (though we're not sure we'd call Legends of Valhalla a major release).

  
  
And while technically, they haven't confirmed confirmed the game, the teaser video states in a disclaimer that the game is both manufactured by American Pinball and called Galactic Tank Force. So we'll count it as officially confirmed.

We don't know a ton about the game itself, other than it's an original theme as American is known for; Dennis Nordman is on design and art by Christopher Franchi.

‍

From what we can gather in the teaser materials, Galactic Tank Force looks to be a spoofy 50's sci-fi style romp. We're certainly looking forward to playing it when it gets released to the public in March.
