Stern, the last pinball manufacturer in the world, is working on a Pirates of the Caribbean creation. Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean blends the characters and settings from both films into one game.

Hit the jump for the upcoming game's features.

A mechanical pirate ship that the player strikes with the pinball. With each hit, the ship lowers its sails and eventually sinks into the playfield, thus revealing a shot into the Kraken's mouth. In this area, the player can sink the ship, destroy the Kraken, and fight Davy Jones.

A mechanical treasures chest, the Dead Man's Chest, through which the player can shoot the ball. When the player has the KEY, the chest opens. They can then spell H-E-A-R-T to begin HEART multi-ball.

A contained spinning rubber disk where the player can capture up to three pinballs. The disk bounces them around in the contained area and holds them for an extended period of time till the player starts multi-ball. The disk sometimes represents Tortuga and other times Port Royal.

A map compass comprised of playfield inserts that shows the player each feature they need to finish. Complete all eight features and play Four Winds Multi-ball.

The game should be hitting locations this month, though I can't think of a single place I'd expect to find a new pinball machine near me. If you're lucky enough to see one of these creations in the wild, drop a quarter in and take it for a spin. Brian Crecente
