'Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City' Launches on Apple Arcade on July 16

Toronto-based game developer Snowman today announced that "Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City" will be launching on Apple Arcade on Friday, July 16, as one of several new classic games being added to the subscription-based service.

First released in 2018, Alto's Odyssey is an award-winning endless sandboarding game with beautiful procedurally generated graphics, dynamic lighting and weather conditions, and original music. In the Apple Arcade edition of the game, players will embark on a sandboarding journey to find a new biome called The Lost City and unearth the secrets hidden within, with the classic Alto's Odyssey experience preserved.

At the heart of Alto's Odyssey and its 2015 predecessor, Alto's Adventure, is physics-based movement with a one-touch trick system.


A long list of classic games were added to Apple Arcade in April, including "Fruit Ninja" and "Monument Valley," and more classics are coming soon, including "Angry Birds Reloaded" and "Doodle God Universe." Priced at $4.99 per month, Apple Arcade provides access to a catalog of nearly 200 games without ads or in-app purchases across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, with additional titles added periodically.

Apple Arcade is so weak. They need AAA mobile games. The problem is that there’s no money in it. Companies make more money from IAP. Nintendo even said so.

Why doesnt Apple acquire old school game catalogs from Capcom or Neogeo or something…their arcade games will attract many people.

I love Alto's Odyssey and I look forward to The Lost City. I like Snowman's work and also look forward to the release of its game, Distant.

I wish you could buy Apple Arcade games without a subscription. There isn’t enough for me to warrant paying for it constantly.

I'm two months into my three month trial, and so far the only game I've played consistently enough to leave it downloaded is Solitaire+. Apple needs to get it together with this Arcade business.
