The acclaimed action-adventure game, The Pathless, returns to mobile devices! Previously an Apple Arcade and console exclusive, this archery-focused exploration title is now available as a standalone iOS release. Experience the vast open world and precise archery combat without needing an Apple Arcade subscription or a gaming console.
Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic while delivering a rich gameplay experience. Players assume the role of a nameless hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a mysterious island using mystical abilities and a trusty bow and arrow.
We enthusiastically recommend The Pathless (for three compelling reasons, previously detailed). Its standalone iOS release is a welcome return.

Its initial Apple Arcade presence may have been instrumental in facilitating this mobile port. Originally planned as a console exclusive, the game's positive reception on Apple Arcade likely paved the way for its independent mobile launch.
