Take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the audio remastering for American Pinball’s reimagined release of Cirqus Voltaire.

To capture the true spirit of this legendary title, we brought back original voice artist Cathy Schenkelberg to step into the booth once again, 29 years later. Working alongside sound designer and audio engineer Alex Gerst at Empire Sound Studio, the team crafted crisp, high-fidelity remasters of her classic callouts alongside brand-new, never-before-heard lines recorded exclusively for this edition.

Get ready to experience the sights and sounds of the Cirqus like never before.

This week we launched the first game by the new American Pinball, and we are proud of what we've built in Cirqus Voltaire™! A lot of hard work was put into the reimagined game, and we want to especially say thank you to those who helped bring it to life: Stumblor Pinball, The Art of Pinball, The Art of Brian Allen - Flyland Designs, Empire Sound Studio, and the entire AP team.

We have so much more to share. Stay tuned, and welcome to the cirqus!

Have you seen the upgraded tank for Galactic Tank Force: Victory Edition in action?

Hand-painted and resin-cast by our partners at The Art of Pinball, this revamped tank looks better and plays harder. It retains the signature motorized action while adding 3 embedded interactive LEDs that react during game modes and attacks.
