Centaur is the Next Haggis Pinball Machine

Kaneda Calls It

Love him or hate him, Kaneda usually has his finger on the pulse of the pinball rumor beat. Moments ago, he shared this image to his Patreon account, which appears to be the apron design for Haggis' next remake game, Centaur. There had been some speculation as to what the next title would be last week when Haggis released a cryptic teaser video that, by most accounts appeared to tease Eight Ball Deluxe. But apparently that was simple misdirection.

Based on his track record and everything we've seen/heard so far, it seems safe to go ahead and call this rumor confirmed.

Edit: And it's confirmed.
