As we end September and approach IAAPA, arcade news tends to pick up a little, although the way things are shaking out economically, I’m not anticipating it being as strong as it was say 2018/19. Fortunately we end September with some new stuff, particularly from Raw Thrills so let’s see what they’ve got.
Raw Thrills Launches Series 4 Cards For Injustice Arcade

I’m not sure if Series 3 did the Gear Cards and Super play, or if this is new
I’m still not sure when Series 2 for Minecraft Dungeons Arcade will launch but it should be before the end of the year.
New Cabinet Shot For Fast & Furious Arcade
We haven’t heard much about the new Fast & Furious Arcade racer that Raw Thrills unveiled at Bowl Expo ’22 earlier this year but now we do have a cabinet shot that looks close to final production (note that something could still change by production time).

It is interesting that we’re seeing these revelations come through distributors who aren’t named Betson, since most of the time RT & Betson have that close relationship. MOSS is also running a finance deal:
Fast & Furious Arcade does not have an announced release date as far as I am aware at this moment but the assumption is that it will officially launch in November at IAAPA 2022.
