Barrels of Fun Reveals Dune Pinball as Game #2
On the eve of the game's public reveal at Barrels of Fun's media day, we can now stop speculating on what the Houston-area upstart pinball manufacturer is working on. Barrels of Fun today officially revealed Dune Pinball, based on the 2021 sci-fi film staring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, and others.
Dune had been rumored as an upcoming title for BoF for some time, though most were unclear on if it would be based on the books, the 1984 film adaptation, or the most recent movies. Now we know!
The production line at Barrels of Fun is ramping up over the next four weeks to produce Dune units, and the Barrels team expects to ship all 1,000 games by end of 2025.
