Apple Arcade Debuts Seven Games, Features Outlanders 2

On July 3, players can look forward to three new games – Outlanders 2: Second Nature, a town-building strategy game from Uruguayan indie studio Pomelo Games; Punch Kick Duck+, a side-scroll action game made by solo developer Shaun Coleman; and the popular and relaxing Zen Koi Pro+ from Singapore-based game studio LandShark Games.

Whether delving into the newest release, jumping back into fan-favorite games with the latest update, or revisiting timeless classics, this summer, players can embark on epic adventures from the comfort of their shaded retreat.

Outlanders 2: Second Nature by Pomelo Games

The latest installment of the charming town builder will captivate players with its imaginative levels, easy-to-learn but hard-to-master gameplay, and offbeat humor. A courageous new generation of outlanders are ready to reshape life in the Outlands with new approaches to building and surviving an ecosystem more vibrant than ever before. Featuring a campaign mode with 21 levels at launch and a challenges mode updated biweekly, players will experience fully revamped graphics, new Tropiclands and Winterlands biomes with weather events, double the amount of buildings and resources, and a charming cast of leaders with unique personalities.

Punch Kick Duck+ by Shaun Coleman

Players will navigate through the tower of the cruel Baron Tigrisso, battling his hench-critters with simple controls and challenging action. The rules of the game are simple: Punch beats kick, kick beats duck, and duck beats punch. With three selectable difficulty levels, a colorful cast of characters, and support for both landscape and portrait orientation, players will need to think quick and act quicker to send foes flying and chase their high score.

Zen Koi Pro+ by LandShark Games

Dive into tranquility with Zen Koi Pro+, a single-player experience designed for ultimate relaxation. Inspired by the Asian myth of a koi fish transforming into a dragon, players can collect over 50 breathtaking koi patterns, each boasting vibrant colors and captivating designs. With frictionless fun and a focus on stress relief and completion, Zen Koi Pro+ offers more than just relaxation – it’s a journey of symbolism and cultural significance, embodying positive values of perseverance, good fortune, and longevity through the serene world of koi.
