The Pathless Returns to iOS with Standalone App Store Release

The Pathless, the critically acclaimed action-adventure game known for its immersive archery mechanics and expansive open-world exploration, has returned to mobile platforms with an iOS standalone release. Originally available on Apple Arcade and consoles, this beloved title is now accessible to mobile gamers without the need for a subscription or additional hardware.

Set in a vast, open world, The Pathless invites players to assume the role of a skilled hunter tasked with lifting the curse shrouding the mysterious island. Armed with a bow and mystical abilities, you’ll traverse stunning landscapes, solve intricate puzzles, and engage in precise archery combat. Fans of minimalist yet content-rich games will find much to love in this title, reminiscent of the studio's earlier masterpiece, Abzû.
