The action-adventure game The Pathless has made a triumphant return to mobile devices with a new iOS standalone release. Previously an exclusive on Apple Arcade and consoles, fans can now dive back into its expansive open world and engage in its acclaimed archery combat without needing a subscription or a console.
Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic while offering deep gameplay. In this title, you take on the role of a nameless hunter tasked with lifting a curse from an island. You'll explore this vast world, wielding mystical powers and your trusty bow and arrow to overcome challenges.
We were huge fans of The Pathless when it first launched, even highlighting three compelling reasons to give it a try. Its return to iOS as a standalone release is a welcome development, and we're excited to see it back in the hands of mobile gamers.
While it's true that some games disappear from Apple Arcade and may not return, The Pathless serves as a positive example. Originally planned as a console exclusive, its success on Apple Arcade paved the way for this mobile release. This demonstrates how initial platforms can lead to broader availability, benefiting gamers across different devices.
