Two critically acclaimed games are coming to Apple Arcade this month with Shadow Blade and Monument Valley 2 as well as an Apple Arcade original in Alto’s Adventure: The Spirit of the Mountain.

Shadow Blade+ from Crescent Moon Games 

Shadow Blade is an action-platformer set in a visually striking world where the ancient teachings of ninjas and samurai clash upon a modern landscape. Players will sprint through stages littered with traps, slaying enemies along their path without hesitation as the ninja, Kuro. Darkness and chaos are once again creeping into the world. The covenant made in a time almost forgotten has failed, and the three clans are now in a violent struggle for dominance. The medallion is almost made whole again and it falls upon Kuro’s shoulders to restore balance. All his training has led up to this one moment, where the fate of the world will rest in his hands. 

Shadow Blade comes to Apple Arcade on the 4th of March.

Monument Valley 2+ from Ustwo games

The celebrated adventure Monument Valley 2 is coming to Apple Arcade. The Game Awards best mobile game of 2017, Monument Valley 2 presents an intimate adventure set in a beautiful and impossible world. Players will help guide a mother and her child as they embark on a journey through magical architecture, discovering illusionary pathways and delightful puzzles as they learn the secrets of Sacred Geometry. Help Ro as she teaches her child about the mysteries of the valley, exploring stunning environments and manipulating architecture to guide them on their way. The Arcade version now includes a brand new chapter ‘The Lost Forest’, created as part of Playing for the Planet’s Green Game Jam to help raise awareness for the conservation of trees. 

Monument Valley 2 comes to Apple Arcade on the 11th of March.

Alto’s Adventure: The Spirit of the Mountain from Snowman

Join Alto and his friends as they embark on an endless snowboarding odyssey. Journey across the beautiful alpine hills of their native wilderness, through sleepy neighboring villages, ancient woodlands, and long-abandoned ruins in a quest to uncover the Spirit of the Mountain. Along the way, players will rescue runaway llamas, grind rooftops, leap over terrifying chasms and outwit the village elders – all while braving the ever-changing elements and seeking out secrets long hidden deep within the mountains.

This is a brand new game coming exclusively to Apple Arcade. Ryan Cash, Founder and CEO of Snowman comments:

“Our goal at Snowman has always been to create meaningful experiences that you may sit with for a short time, but that sit with you for a long while. Over the last decade, we’ve been very proud in supporting and working with such talented and up-and-coming indie developers to bring highly-rated games to players around the world, including Agens based in Olso, Norway on Skate City, and The Game Band in Los Angeles on Where Cards Fall. We’re excited for the next journey ahead with Alto’s Adventure: The Spirit of the Mountain in collaboration with Harry Nesbitt and his new team at Land & Sea.”
