Apple's subscription to mobile games Apple Arcade has released over 120 games for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV since its launch eight months ago. Some of the breakout games include $ 4.99 (£ 4.99, AU $ 7.99) monthly service The enchanted world, Where cards fall and Shinsekai: In depth.
Apple Arcade releases new games and updates others every week. Even though the game service has compiled an impressive game catalog, we are still waiting for some of the greatest titles promised at launch. Here are the games that we can't wait for when they're available:
The artistic escape
Developer: Annapurna Interactive
The Artful Escape tells the story of the child prodigy Francis Vendetti. The night of his first performance, Francis is on a psychedelic search for self-discovery. On the way, he fights dead folk legends and sometimes against his own imagination.
The Artful Escape was first announced at E3 2017 and was featured in the Apple Arcade series last year. The X019 trailer promises a colorful, neon-colored, musical side-scroller.
Boxing project
Developer: Aquiris
When Box Project for Apple Arcade was announced, there weren't many details available other than a photo of a box. The information is still sparse online, but CNET has asked the Brazilian game studio Aquiris for more information. A video from YouTuber MrMacRight showed just a few seconds from Box Project in early June and suggested that the name could be a working title. The images looked like a medieval scene with a Wii-like figure waving a sword as it fights little green goblins.
Enter the construct
Developer: Policy games
Not much detail was available on Enter the Construct last year, except that it is expected to be available when Apple Arcade launches. At that time, the pictures and videos showed the game as a first-person sci-fi shooter. There has been little or no information about Enter the Construct since then, so it's possible that it has a new name or has been canceled. CNET has contacted Directive Games and we will update as soon as we hear anything.
Fantasian
Developer: Mistwalker
Fantasians creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, a mastermind behind several role plays, including Final Fantasy, publishes updates to the upcoming JRPG game on Twitter fairly regularly, Facebook and Instagram. If you're excited about Fantasian, you can scroll through Sakaguchi's social media and take a look at concept art and the game handmade dioramas how they are built. Mistwalker has posted designs from New Town En, Magitech Factory in Machine City, Secret Base and Wasserstadt Vence from the game.
Hitchhikers
Developer: Mad about pandas
HitchHiker is a mysterious puzzle game where you play as a hitchhiker who doesn't remember anything about his identity, past or goal. You travel with five different drivers and make conversations in conversations that help you remember your dark secrets. Solve environmental puzzles, watch for clues everywhere, and form alliances - but remember that nothing is what it seems.
The last campfire

According to a screenshot from Touch Arcade, The Last Campfire was listed as "coming soon" in a beta leak for iOS 14.

developer: Night school studio
Next Stop Nowhere is a "Galactic Road Trip" game that will soon be available from the developer Night School Studio for Apple Arcade. The developer tweeted a teaser for the game on Tuesday.
The pathless

Explore beautiful, foggy forests on a magical island, solve puzzles and fight. The Pathless is a sequel to the studio's previous game, Abzu.
You can also play The Pathless on the upcoming PS5. On Thursday, Annapurna Interactive showed a few minutes of gameplay during the PlayStation State of Play broadcast, told by creative developer Matt Nava.
Proxy
developer: Will Wright and Gallium Artists
Proxi is an AI simulation game by The ledges Creator Will Wright. The game is based on the player's memories and uses them as building blocks in the 3D world. Instead of creating a city or house, as the player would do in The Sims, Proxi models the brain. According to the website, you can save memories and millions of related concepts.
Samurai Jack: fight through time
developer: Swimming games for adults
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time will be recorded in Apple Arcade on August 21, according to a developer video diary received from Pocket Gamer. The upcoming game will feature a number of recurring characters from the beloved cartoon, including Jack himself and the malicious Aku voiced by Greg Baldwin.
