The publicly funded kickstarter was cancelled, not sure about the project itself.





Maybe it was a Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap?  &&

Thanks to the amazing reception that Stern Pinball Arcade has received, we’ve been able to enter into a new partnership that will allow us to immediately start on the development of AC/DC pinball! This will allow us to add these great tables to the Stern Pinball Arcade even sooner than we had hoped.
We will release more information about this exciting development soon- stay tuned!

Maybe they found another commercial way to fund it.

This is finally out on PS4 and all I can say is WOW. They did a bang up job on this equation. All premium tables reproduced ( no pro model ) I am lucky enough to play the new Stern games regularly and these feel very, very true to the real thing. I am surprised.
Also as a huge bonus, paying $15.00 per title instead of $15,000 for AC/DC is awesome.
Really looking forward to playing in VR, but Sony can't keep up with demand.
excuse the shit pictures.
