Angry Birds Reloaded, Doodle God Universe and Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City Coming to Apple Arcade

[MacRumors]

Apple in April began adding classic games to its Apple Arcade catalog, and today, Apple announced three new games that are coming in the near future: Angry Birds Reloaded, Doodle God Universe, and Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City.

Apple announced the new games on Twitter today, and those interested in playing them when they launch on Apple Arcade can sign up to be notified. The three games will be available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

Angry Birds Reloaded builds on the original Angry Birds game, introducing new characters from the Angry Birds movie universe, a new game mode, new power ups, and all new levels.

Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City is an endless runner set in the desert, where the goal is to sail across dunes, canyons, and temples to unearth the secrets of the Lost City. The game offers simple tap controls that are easy to learn but tough to master, and players are tasked with building up combos and meeting goals.

In Doodle God Universe, players start out on an empty planet with four elements, and the goal is to combine these different elements to create hundreds of new elements to make the planet thrive and grow.

There's no word yet on exactly when these new games are launching, but as with all Apple Arcade titles, they will be available to Apple Arcade subscribers with no additional in-app purchases or fees. Apple Arcade is priced at $4.99 per month.

Other classic games that are now available on Apple Arcade include Fruit Ninja, Monument Valley, Threes, Mini Metro, The Oregon Trail, Cut the Rope, and more.

I wish they would create a premium bundle that makes sense cost wise that doesn't include arcade or news. (Basically the family plan but switch out Arcade for fitness)

Since I’m in the top 0.5% of Spire Blast I can get some idea of at least numbers of subscribers since it’s somewhat popular. Around 480K have tried it and it looks like 180K are regular users. So that implies it’s reasonably popular and growing as the numbers have gone up since I started playing by about 10% in a month or two.

I once ranked in the top 100 in the world in Angry Birds. Fear not, Angry Bird competitors, I shall remain in retirement.

 

[joiwomcow]

Such a shame. I really liked ... and paid for... the first two Alto games.

Too confusing with the two app stores: App Store and Apple Arcade.

I as the consumer am lost at which one to pick from for my games on my Apple devices.

Apple should have never let this Apple Arcade sneak into the App Store.

A games tab and an arcade tab in the Apps app doesn’t seem very Apple.

and the usual comment I’ll make: imagine if Apple bought a studio / invested in their own studio like they have with Apple TV+, and released exclusive, high budget triple A games…?

 

[Canyda]

I was a big Angry Birds nerd when it was hot, so I will absolutely be playing this one.

 

[Khedron]

So games that typically go for between free and $5 can now be rented for an ongoing charge of $5/month.

 

[ouimetnick]

Still $4.99/month to much.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

People still play Angrybird in 2021?

 

[Kylo83]

Every few months we get a few old games what’s the point

 

[rjp1]

This is awesome

if it was 10 years ago.

Such a shame. I really liked ... and paid for... the first two Alto games.

It doesn’t seem to be a completely new game. More like an updated version of Alto’s Odyssey with a few changes.

Angry Birds was entertaining for a while. Then it just seemed to go on endlessly. I prefer a game to be beatable within a reasonable amount of time.

Unless it's Skyrim. That game could go on forever. Once heavily modded. It's surreal at first how realistic some characters behave. I don't think anything other game I've played comes close to how intricate that game is loaded out with mods.

Apple needs to put arcade out of its misery and finally allow xCloud into the App Store so people can play real games instead of Tim’s trash.

 

[jonnyb098]

Still $4.99/month to much.

According to who? A ten year old without a job?

Five bucks per month to play dozens of decent games with no frill and garbage and it’s not enough for you? What exactly would be a compelling service for you to justify $4.99?

 

[Bug-Creator]

imagine if Apple bought a studio / invested in their own studio like they have with Apple TV+, and released exclusive, high budget triple A games…?

Maybe they have, maybe even in a way that that studio doesn't even know it is owned by Apple.

AAA games take years to develop and Apple does not (yet?) have a foot in with the target audience for them.

Subscribe to play games you got bored of after a week ten years ago.

 

[kostthem]

I actually enjoy Apple Arcade.

 

[headlessmike]

Me too! For some reason I found myself thinking about Angry Birds the other day and I was considering giving the game another go.

I've been watching my friends daughter lately (she is 6) and was letting her play with my nieces old iPad mini 2. I couldn't believe how horrible the games now are with the constant ads, trying to get you to subscribe to WAY overpriced subscriptions etc. So I thought I'd try Apple Arcade since I had a 3 month demo it kept nagging me about. After I opted in I realized it wouldn't even work on the iPad mini 2 as it was too old. I did the decide to let her use an old iPad Air 2 but even so have been disappointed with the choices. Angry Birds may help a little!

If Apple had an E3 event

 

[ELman]

Still $4.99/month to much.

I wish this service was around when I was a kid. Blowing $5 in an arcade took about 15 minutes.

 

[Spock]

I’ll be happy to enjoy Angry Birds again, I paid $4.99 for it way back in the day and then it went free with ads and I stopped playing after that. I didn’t like that I paid for it and still had to endure the annoying ads.
