Get ready for a new quest! Apple has announced that Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea will be exclusively available on Apple Arcade starting next month. This highly anticipated action-RPG adventure, developed by Cornfox & Brothers, picks up almost a thousand years after the events of the acclaimed Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm. Apple is positioning this new installment as a flagship RPG experience and a key highlight of its March content update for the platform.
Oceanhorn 3 and Other Exciting Additions to Apple Arcade
In an official announcement, Apple confirmed that Oceanhorn 3 will be fully playable across a range of devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, and Apple TV, commencing March 5. Players can look forward to immersive console-quality visuals and seamless controller support on compatible devices. As with all Apple Arcade titles, the game will be completely free of ads and in-app purchases, ensuring an uninterrupted gaming experience.
Cornfox & Brothers, the game’s developer, shared that Oceanhorn 3 will uphold the series’ beloved action role-playing mechanics. Players will engage in real-time combat, solve intricate puzzles, and explore a vast, fantastical world. The narrative thrust sees players returning to the world of Gaia, a millennium after the previous game, to confront a new and formidable threat emerging from the enigmatic Shadow Sea.
This latest installment boasts a refined combat system and expansive environments, complete with enhanced options for traversing both land and sea. Naval exploration, a cornerstone of the Oceanhorn experience, remains a crucial element, allowing players to navigate open waters, discover hidden islands, and unearth ancient secrets.
The developers have also hinted at more elaborate dungeons and challenging boss encounters, meticulously crafted to leverage Apple’s powerful hardware.
Beyond Oceanhorn 3, Apple is enriching its Arcade library with several other exciting titles this March. These include Pocket Love!+, a charming life simulator where players can create a new home with their significant other and a favorite pet; Flow Free!+, a popular puzzle game that challenges players to connect matching colors with pipes; and Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story+, which invites players to manage a sweets shop alongside the iconic manga character, Doraemon.
These new additions are expected to launch concurrently with Oceanhorn 3, forming part of Apple’s regular monthly content refresh for its Arcade subscribers.
