"The Pathless Returns to iOS with Standalone App Store Release"

The captivating action-adventure game, *The Pathless*, has returned to mobile devices with a new standalone release for iOS. Previously exclusive to Apple Arcade and consoles, fans of the game can now dive back into its vast open world and experience the thrill of archery combat without the need for an Apple Arcade subscription or a console.

Developed by the creators of Abzû, *The Pathless* offers a minimalist yet content-rich experience. You step into the shoes of a nameless hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a mysterious island. As you explore, you'll harness mystical powers and wield your bow and arrow to navigate the challenges ahead.

We were huge fans of *The Pathless* upon its initial release, even highlighting three compelling reasons to give it a try. It's fantastic to see this title return to iOS as a standalone release, making it accessible to a broader audience.

While it's true that some games face challenges after leaving Apple Arcade, *The Pathless* might be an exception. Initially planned as a console exclusive, its inclusion in Apple Arcade paved the way for this mobile release. The positive reception it received likely played a significant role in bringing it back to iOS as a standalone app, which we believe is a win for gamers.
