Venom Pinball Enters the Stern Vault
Stern has removed Venom from active production. Here is what that status means, what remains available through Evolution Pinball, and where to see the machine in action.
What Stern announced
In its July 13 Vault spotlight, Stern said Venom had been removed from active production and would stay in the Vault for at least two years. Stern also made clear that a future return is not guaranteed.
This is a production decision, not a change to the game itself. Venom's code, connected features, machine editions, and existing owner experience continue independently of whether Stern is building another production run.
Active production has ended
New factory runs are no longer part of Stern's current schedule.
At least two years in the Vault
Stern specified a minimum period, not a scheduled return date.
Dealer stock can still exist
Evolution inventory and distributor access must be confirmed separately.

Why Venom remains worth a look
Venom is built around choosing a host, leveling characters, and carrying progression through Stern Insider Connected. Its fast layout and character strategy give the game an identity that goes beyond the Marvel license.
The Vault announcement makes edition availability more important. Buyers comparing Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models should verify the exact machine and package available instead of assuming a later factory run.
