Jersey Jack Pinball has released an early teaser for its upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog pinball machine, with a full reveal scheduled to coincide with the franchise’s 35th anniversary.
The teaser footage surfaced on Jersey Jack machines and was reported by Knapp Arcade via Sonic City, offering collectors and fans a brief look at the new cabinet ahead of the official unveiling on June 23 — the date widely recognized as the North American launch anniversary of the original Sonic the Hedgehog (1991).
Background and context
Jersey Jack Pinball, founded by Jack Guarnieri, is known for premium, licensed pinball machines and has previously produced themed tables tied to major entertainment properties.
The company refreshed its homepage with the short tagline “Ready to run?” alongside a looping close-up video of the machine’s coin slots, signaling the imminent reveal.
An additional short animation tied to the machine was shared online by Reddit user Will7260 after appearing in an official email from Jersey Jack.
Teaser details and public reveal
The teaser that circulated on Jersey Jack units offers only a quick visual tease of the cabinet.
Jersey Jack has confirmed the full reveal is set for June 23, 2026, aligning the announcement with Sonic’s 35th anniversary celebrations.
The company framed the homepage update as an invitation for fans to prepare for a fast-paced, collectible pinball experience.
Launch party and event information
A launch party for the Sonic the Hedgehog machine is scheduled at Under the Glass Pinball in Red Bank, New Jersey, from June 27–28.
Jersey Jack founder Jack Guarnieri and veteran pinball designer Steve Ritchie are listed as in-person guests who will discuss the machine’s design and production process.
Tickets for the event are available in limited quantities via the Under the Glass website; attendees will have the opportunity to play the new cabinet and meet both Guarnieri and Ritchie.
Related Sonic activity
Sega marked the 35th anniversary with several promotional items and events, including a high-profile life-sized Sonic figure the company described as incorporating elements it called Sonic’s DNA, created using advanced biotechnology techniques.
Separately, reports have surfaced of a Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition appearing in retail listings for the Nintendo Switch 2, which has been noted by retailers but not yet formally confirmed by Sega.
What to watch for
Expect Jersey Jack’s full machine reveal on June 23 for complete specs, pricing, and availability.
Collectors and venue operators will likely pay close attention to production quantities and distribution plans once Jersey Jack publishes official details.
