Even more surprising, they also announced that they are ending production of Predator in December 31st, meaning that only 150 Predator units remain available for sale. They explained that this move was to "clear the way for our next big titles." Ooh, I wonder what they are?
Pinball brothers will also cease production of Alien by the end of 2025. They stated that they will never produce either title again. Predator is going to end up being a super rare game.
"The US tariffs on European goods are finally set. The bad news? Costs are up. The good news? We’re absorbing as much as we possibly can, covering the tariffs and the increased international shipping costs, so you don’t have to.
Getting our games to our US friends is our top priority — and we want them to land on US soil at the most attractive price possible. Starting now, we’re offering the Predator pinball direct from Pinball Brothers USA at $11,995, with international shipping and taxes included. No surprises. No extra fees. Just pulse-pounding jungle chaos ready for your game room.
Games will be ready to collect or distribute (mainland freight cost will be added) straight from our US headquarters in DuBois, PA. We’ll continue to work with select US partners, but adding direct sales from our own HQ is the best way for us to serve the US market right now.
Here’s the inside scoop — only 150 Predator units remain, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Production ends December 31st (!!!) as we update our license agreements and clear the way for our next big titles.
This is your final shot at owning a Predator or Alien. After this year, both will vanish from production, no reruns, no second chances. If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the moment to lock one down before they disappear into pinball legend."
