FarSight promised the long-suffering Xbox 360 customers an update on new content for The Pinball Arcade on XBLA, which has been on hold since September of 2012, and they delivered in The Pinball Arcade Newsletter #12.5.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
"As most of you know, the Xbox 360 is the only platform that requires us to have a publisher instead of dealing directly with Microsoft. Our publisher Fillpoint (aka Crave Entertainment) filed bankruptcy last year, and that has wreaked havoc on our plans for releasing new tables on the Xbox 360.
We?ve been asked many times ?Why don?t you just find a new publisher?? It?s not that simple, unfortunately- our contract with Fillpoint is now an asset of a bankrupt company, so we need both the consent of the creditors and the approval of the court to move the game to another publisher. The good news is that we are VERY CLOSE to getting court approval on a transfer. We wish it was happening faster (and we?re more frustrated than you- we lose money every day the new tables aren?t available on 360). But it will happen!"
As stated before, once FarSight is able to continue releasing add-on content for The Pinball Arcade on XBLA, the first two tables that will be available for purchase are The Twilight Zone and Star Trek : The Next Generation. All other unreleased Table Add-On Pack release dates are to be determined.
