Yesterday, I was chatting with Jared about how releasing ফ্যান্টাসিয়ান এবং ওয়ান্ডারবক্স on the same day would be surprising because both were games people have been looking forward to for a while now for Apple Arcade. It turns out Apple had more plans for today because following the launch of the aforementioned games, more than 30 games have joined the service today including a new Taiko no Tatsujin! game as it expands to include new categories like Timeless Classics and App Store Greats, while also adding more original content in the form of Apple Arcade Originals. Timeless Classics and App Store Greats are only available on iOS and iPadOS while Apple Arcade Originals are available on all Apple platforms.
I was linked to a Tweet by a friend that listed তালি হান্জ গল্ফ (from the makers of Sony’s Everybody’s Golf / Hot Shot’s Golf) and দানবদের বিশ্ব that we’ve covered a few times since its initial reveal. I thought it was a late joke given today is April 2nd but I checked and this is all real. Apple not only shadow dropped both those games but also added so many classics to the service. This has resulted in some games having two versions on the store and I’m not sure how save data works between them if there’s even any overlap.
Timeless Classics has launched with সুডোকু, দাবা - খেলুন এবং শিখুন and more while App Store greats includes ফল নিনজা ক্লাসিক, মিনি মেট্রো, তিনে! and more. All of these games are of course ad-free and unlocked for those using Apple Arcade. For Apple Arcade Originals, এনবিএ 2K21 আর্কেড সংস্করণ, দ্য ওরেগন ট্রেইল, and more have joined the service with more to come. দ্য ওরেগন ট্রেইল is Gameloft giving players a new twist on the classic. দড়ি পুনরায় কাটা কাটা is a 3D remaster of the App Store classic. I’m very curious to see if Apple eventually starts using Apple Arcade to bring ports of older console games and whether this is what will be used to bring in ডিভিনিটির আসল পাপ এক্সএনইউএমএক্স since we haven’t heard anything of that release since the reveal at WWDC.
For games coming soon to the service, কিংডম রাশের কিংবদন্তি, ফ্রেঞ্জিক: ওভারটাইম, and the excellent লিওর ভাগ্য. The Apple Arcade versions of existing games have a plus at the end of their name to differentiate the listings it looks like. Head over to our dedicated অ্যাপল আর্কেড ফোরাম পরিষেবা এবং প্রতিটি খেলা অন্তর্ভুক্ত আলোচনার জন্য এখানে. Earlier today, I asked what you’d like to see on the service but now I’m wondering how everyone has time to even try out all the new games added today. Which of the newly added games are you getting to first?
