You're gonna need a bigger pinball table.

The first official add-on for the recently announced Pinball FX3 has been revealed by the team at Zen Studios, and fans of classic Universal films are going to be very, very happy.

The developer of the forthcoming pinball game has announced that it will release a new collection for the game called Universal Classics Pinball, which will be based around three classic films that involve director/executive producer Steven Spielberg: the cinematic classic Jaws, the inspiring 80's film E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, and a table based on the Back To the Future trilogy.

The tables will release alongside the launch of Pinball FX3, which will also include a smattering of originally designed tables so that it has a mixture of offerings when it arrives sometime later this year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam and Windows 10, as well as mobile devices.

The product description reads as follows:

Players can get behind the wheel of the DeLorean time machine and travel through different eras of Hill Valley to fix the space-time continuum on the Back to the Future table, take on the terrifying great white shark on the Jaws table, and go on an adventure with Elliot as he helps E.T. contact his spaceship and return to the stars on the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial table!

"Universal Classics Pinball captures the most memorable moments from three films that defined my generation's childhood, and are undoubtedly among the favorite films of Zen's pinball design team," said Mel Kirk, Zen's Vice President of Publishing. "We could not have planned a better set of launch tables for the new Pinball FX3 platform, and we know pinball fans will agree!"

Zen Studios is no stranger to licensed fare with its pinball games, as it's brought out a number of tables for its previously released Pinball FX2 and Zen Pinball 2 compilations, including Aliens, Bethesda properties (like Fallout and Doom), Star Wars tables, Marvel-licensed tables (Deadpool!) and several others. So, needless to say, the Universal properties are certainly in good hands.
