Apple Arcade subscribers will have a new adventure to embark on next month with the launch of Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea on March 5. The action-RPG is the latest installment in the popular Oceanhorn franchise and will be available across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro.
Developed by Cornfox & Brothers, Oceanhorn 3 is set nearly a thousand years after the events of Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm. Players will explore lost islands, battle titans, and uncover the secrets of a world undergoing rebirth. The game features “stunning console-quality visuals” and “innovative traversal and combat mechanics,” according to Apple. This release underscores the growing trend of high-quality gaming experiences becoming accessible through subscription services.
“The upcoming release of Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea on Apple Arcade represents the culmination of five years of passionate work, bringing a brand-new adventure to life for players of all ages,” said Heikki Repo, creator of the Oceanhorn series and creative director at Cornfox & Brothers. “With the support of our friends at Apple, we’ve crafted something truly special. We’re excited for both longtime fans and new adventurers to explore a rich new world filled with compelling characters and an unforgettable story.”
Alongside Oceanhorn 3, three additional titles will be added to Apple Arcade on March 5: Pocket Love!+, a life simulator game; Flow Free+, an addictive puzzle game; and Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story+, a sweet shop simulator. Apple Arcade currently offers over 200 games with no ads or in-app purchases, available for $6.99 per month or as part of an Apple One bundle.
