“Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea,” the highly anticipated new chapter in the popular action-RPG-adventure franchise, is launching exclusively on Apple Arcade on March 5th. Taking place nearly a thousand years after the events of Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm, Oceanhorn 3 invites fans and newcomers to explore lost islands, battle titans, and unlock the secrets of a world on the brink of rebirth.
“The upcoming release of Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea on Apple Arcade represents the culmination of five years of passionate work, bringing a brand-new adventure to life for players of all ages,” said Heikki Repo, creator of the Oceanhorn series and creative director at Cornfox & Brothers, in a statement. “With the support of our friends at Apple, we’ve crafted something truly special. We’re excited for both longtime fans and new adventurers to explore a rich new world filled with compelling characters and an unforgettable story.”
Oceanhorn 3 is a beautiful 3D gaming experience that is playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. Featuring stunning console-quality visuals and deep lore, the game offers a meaningful continuation of the epic story for fans of the series, and RPG aficionados will appreciate the blend of exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving. With innovative traversal and combat mechanics, Oceanhorn 3 also delivers players a battle system that feels rewarding, intuitive, and fun to master at their own pace.
On March 5, three great games from the App Store also join the service’s family-friendly catalog — all with no ads or in-app purchases. Players can move into a cute new home with their partner and favorite pet in wholesome life simulator Pocket Love!+, connect matching colors with pipes in popular puzzle game Flow Free+, and run a sweetshop with beloved manga character Doraemon in Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story+.
Apple Arcade players always have something to look forward to, from new releases to exciting updates to games they already love. On February 19, Disney SpellStruck is expanding to a galaxy far, far away with a special Star Wars update, introducing levels inspired by Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope with Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca as playable characters. This upcoming crossover follows Crayola Create and Play+’s limited-time Snowy Day event, featuring globally beloved children’s character Paddington, and available only on Apple Arcade until February 18.
And for football fans looking to relive this past weekend’s Super Bowl LX, they can check NFL Retro Bowl ’26’s latest challenge, which lets them invite friends to play as the Seattle Seahawks or New England Patriots and compete for the best leaderboard score. Players can start a challenge from the new option on the save select screen, or from the Apple Games app.
For more details on new games and updates, players can visit the App Store or check out the Apple Games app — the best place to experience Apple Arcade and instantly jump back into the games they love, find their next favorite, and have more fun with friends.
