The Pathless Returns to iOS with Standalone App Store Release

The action-adventure game, The Pathless, has returned to mobile devices with a standalone release on iOS. Previously exclusive to Apple Arcade and consoles, fans can now dive back into this captivating world without the need for a subscription or a console. The Pathless offers an expansive open world filled with thrilling archery combat, inviting players to explore and engage.

Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic yet is rich with engaging content. You assume the role of a nameless hunter on a mission to lift a curse from an island, utilizing mystical powers and your trusty bow and arrow to navigate and conquer challenges.

We were enthusiastic about 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 for us and its fans.

While it's true that some titles disappear after their run on Apple Arcade, The Pathless's journey to mobile wouldn't have been possible without its initial stint on the service. Originally slated to be a console exclusive, its positive reception on Apple Arcade paved the way for this mobile release.
