The Pathless makes its way back to iOS via a standalone App Store release

The acclaimed action-adventure game, The Pathless, returns to iOS! Previously an Apple Arcade exclusive, this stunning title is now available as a standalone mobile release. Experience its vast open world and precise archery combat without needing a subscription.

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

We highly recommend The Pathless (for three compelling reasons, previously detailed). Its return as a standalone iOS title is fantastic news!
