Pinball FX 2 to recieve Sorcerer’s Lair table
Zen Studios confirmed via their twitter account that Sorcerer’s Lair, the upcoming table for the PlayStation 3 game Zen Pinball, will be coming to Pinball FX 2. Responding to a fan inquiry on the table, they stated “It will come to XBLA, likely this summer.” Zen Studios had planned to release the table on the PlayStation Network, but due to the recent outages it was delayed with no release date. Meanwhile Pinball FX 2 recently received the Mars table as downloadable content, released April 20. We’ve posted the Zen Pinball trailer for Sorcerer’s Lair above. While not the same game, both games are powered by the same engine, so what you see there is likely what you’ll get.
