Upcoming Resident Evil Pinball Machine - the Most Expensive Game on the Market?

Back in December 2025, the Paris Pinball Addict social media account revealed the possibility of of an upcoming pinball machine by a new Swiss company based on the popular Capcom video game franchise Resident Evil. According to that post, the game might be released as early as March 2026 with a limited run of 300 units (Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18qiYAzmJr/).

Obviously March came and went without any sign of a machine. A friend of mine recently reached out to the company that is reportedly working on this game, World Pinball, and received a bunch of updated information.

- There will be two versions of Resident Evil pinball, a Limited Edition - 400 units, and a Collector's Edition - 100 units, consisting of 5 different machines, one for each of the game's main characters: Leon, Jill, Rebecca, Claire and Chris.

- The machines will be priced at 21,500.00 Swiss Francs for the CE and 19,500.00 for the LE, which at today's exchange rates converts to $27,632.77 and $25,062.28, respectively. Whoa, this is going to be one seriously expensive game.

- The games are scheduled for distribution in early 2027

Here is World Pinball's message, translated to English:

"Hello,

Thank you for your message.

The official teaser is scheduled for a later date, after which we will open pre-orders.

There will be a Limited Edition model—fully optioned and limited to 400 units—priced at CHF 19,500.00, as well as five Collector's Edition versions (limited to just 20 units each): 20 "Leon," 20 "Jill," 20 "Rebecca," 20 "Claire," and 20 "Chris," all fully optioned and priced at CHF 21,500.00.

Regarding the Collector's Edition versions, we have already received several orders, as the production quantity is extremely limited. The pinball machines are scheduled for distribution early next year.

Have a pleasant evening.

Best regards"

"Bonjour,

Merci pour votre message.

Le teasing officiel est prévu pour plus tard, après nous ouvrirons des précommandes.

Il y aura un modèle limited edition à 400 exemplaires full option au prix de CHF 19’500,00 et 5 versions collector édition (à seulement 20 exemplaires) : 20 Léon, 20 jill, 20 Rebecca, 20 claire et 20 Chris au prix de CHF 21500,00 full options.

Concernant les versions collector édition nous avons déjà quelques commandes car il y a très peu d’exemplaires. Les flippers seront distribués début de l’annee prochaine.

World Pinball does have a website up for the game, but it does not currently contain any information other than the ability to e-mail the company.
