The Pathless relaunches on iOS via App Store

The acclaimed action-adventure game The Pathless has returned to mobile devices with a new standalone iOS release. Previously available only through Apple Arcade and consoles, players can now experience this archery-focused exploration game without requiring any subscriptions.

Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless offers a beautifully minimalist experience packed with content. Players assume the role of a skilled hunter tasked with lifting a mysterious curse from a vast, enigmatic island using magical abilities and precision archery.

We thoroughly enjoyed The Pathless during its initial release (even highlighting three compelling reasons to play it), so we're delighted to see it return as a standalone iOS title.

A Second Chance for Mobile Gamers

While we could lament how some games disappear after leaving Apple Arcade, The Pathless presents a different case. Originally planned as a console exclusive, its Apple Arcade success likely motivated this standalone mobile release - a win for players who missed it the first time around.
