The Pathless Launches on iOS via App Store Release

by Allison Dec 12,2024

The critically acclaimed action-adventure title, The Pathless, returns to iOS as a standalone release, marking its mobile comeback after a brief absence from Apple Arcade. This archery-focused exploration game, previously exclusive to Apple Arcade and consoles, is now readily available on mobile devices, offering a vast open world and engaging combat without requiring a subscription.

Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic while delivering substantial content. Players assume the role of a nameless hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a sprawling island using mystical abilities and a trusty bow and arrow.

The game's mobile resurgence is welcome news, especially considering its initial positive reception. While some might bemoan the trend of Apple Arcade games disappearing after their initial run, The Pathless's standalone release demonstrates a potential silver lining: Apple Arcade may serve as a launchpad for wider mobile accessibility. The game was initially planned as a console exclusive before its Apple Arcade debut; the positive response likely fueled this standalone mobile release.
