Dynam announced that it will set up a new Pachinko game with Rei Ayanami statue based the Rebuild of Evangelion series. It will also features characters like Asuka Shikinami Langley and Mari Illustrious Makinami. The game, which is titled Pachinko Shin Evangelion 99 with Play Time – Entertainment ver., will be available in Japan on February 3, 2025.
Bisty and Fields’ new Pachinko game will have a jackpot rate of 1/44.3 on high rate mode and 1/99.9 on low rate mode. Staying in the low rate mode for 299 times will also let players access a special Play Time mode.
The primary highlight of the new Pachinko game will be the life-sized, partial statue of Rei Ayanami attached to the machine. The character will literally watch people playing the Pachinko game themed after the movie series she is featured in.

There has been a multitude of Evangelion-themed Pachinko machines appearing in Japan in recent years. In October 2022, Bisty and Fields revealed a Pachinko game featuring a crossover fusion between the anime series and Godzilla. In September 2024, Sega held a collaboration event between its net Mahjong game MJ and Pachinko Neon Genesis Evangelion: Roar of the Future.
Pachinko Shin Evangelion 99 with Play Time – Entertainment ver. will be available at Dynam’s Pachinko halls across Japan on February 3, 2025.
