Apple today announced that a new version of Temple Run is coming to Apple Arcade in the near future, and based on the game's description, it will merge classic endless runner gameplay with match 3 puzzles.

Players will be tasked with assisting adventurer, archeologist, and Temple Runner Scarlett Fox, solving puzzles to overcome obstacles. Players will create powerful match 3 combos and use special pieces to become the Temple Champion, sending out runners to chase treasure before the demon monkey catches up to them. New match 3 levels will be added on a regular basis.
Play TEMPLE RUN as never before! Beat match 3 puzzles to uncover the mysteries of the ancient temple realm. Create powerful combos and use special pieces to become a Temple Champion!
There is no word on when Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure will be launching, but Apple says that it's coming soon.

The Temple Run endless runner series from Imangi Studios first launched in 2011 and it was super popular with the original game being downloaded more than two billion times. This updated version puts a new spin on the classic gameplay.


Apple this Friday will launch Tetris Beat on Apple Arcade. Tetris Beat lets players rotate and drop Tetriminos to the beat, with the game featuring exclusive music from Alison Wonderland, GARZA, Hannah Diamond, Octo Octa, Dauwd, CINTHIE, and more.

if apple arcade could add "nba hangtime," i'd have a lifetime subscription. that is a fun game. even watching people play it was entertaining. i don't have the game anymore. and it's not available in digital format anywhere
 
I'll check it out! Man, Apple Arcade has a lot of coming soon titles that I'm actually looking forward to! Can't beat the 4.99 a month price for such a large catalog of games already. I still get shocked and need to remind myself that there are no IAP in these apps.

Damn they can match-3-ise anything these days! Lost Warlords to Puzzle Quest and the like years ago, and now this is what becomes of the infinirunner. It has always smacked of laziness to me, but have to see how it actually plays of course!

A bit surprised it is not more a merge game, as that is more the flavour of the month!
 
I‘ve been appreciating Arcade more and more recently. I took a tour through the AppStore again yesterday looking for interesting stuff, and it’s amazing how virtually every app now is “Get (in-app purchase)”. I’ve stopped trying new apps. Arcade is subscription, sure, but it means I can try a ton of different mid-tier games without wondering if I’ll be able to enjoy them without being willing to pony up IAP.
 
What kind of people find this kind of games launch interesting?
Apple arcade is the perfect example of a good concept with an awful execution
