Farlight 84 is coming back to mobile with a major relaunch that overhauls it from the ground up

It's a whole new shooting game

Farlight 84 is coming back to mobile with a major relaunch that overhauls it from the ground up
  • Farlight 84's relaunch is around the corner with an August 7th release date
  • The relaunch includes a first-person perspective and revamped visuals
  • Fans can also enjoy new battlegrounds, buddies and other content

It feels as though it's become increasingly common for relaunches to take place on mobile. We saw it with Dragonheir: Silent Gods, for example, and now we're seeing it with Farlight 84. But this relaunch is far from just a minor polishing, and when it arrives on August 7th, it'll bring a whole new dimension of content to Farlight 84!

Farlight 84, for those not in the know, released first back in 2023. A jazzy and colourful shooter, it's now seeing a major rerelease that updates it with a major visual overhaul for everything from its graphics to UI and animations. Not only that, but it also adds a whole new first-person perspective for those not jazzed about the third-person view!

Don't be worried if you were a Farlight 84 fan already, however. Because the key mechanics are all pretty much the same, including a longer TTK (time to kill) system than other shooters, as well as the hero abilities, dynamic movements and tactical depth.

Relaunched, reloaded

There are occasional allowances made for key mechanics. Those playing in first person may find it a bit more difficult to judge distances for key abilities, which the developers have focused on addressing. However, some will still trigger a third-person viewpoint regardless of what you pick.

It's not just these kinds of under-the-hood improvements coming to the relaunched Farlight 84 either. You'll also be able to enjoy brand-new battlegrounds, dynamic Buddies, additional weapons and gadgets, as well as a deeper level of customisation and even more perks to equip. All of which present a pretty compelling reason to jump back in, or give it a go for the first time!

Meanwhile, if you've got an itchy trigger finger right now, you can always take a gander at our list of the best shooters on iOS for some options you can play right now!
