Releasing today
Tiny Wings+
Andreas Illiger's Tiny Wings becomes the latest addition to Apple Arcade's growing library of App Store Greats today. If you're unfamiliar, it's an arcade title where you play as a bird with, unsurprisingly, tiny wings. Unfortunately, our feathery hero is unable to fly properly, so they'll have to use the abundance of hills in the surrounding area as a slide to gain momentum to soar through the sky if only for a moment.
Coming soon
Kingdom Rush Frontiers TD+
Finally, Apple has announced that Kingdom Rush Frontiers, the second instalment in the popular series, will arrive on Apple Arcade soon. The game sees you defending your land from dragons, man-eating plants and other nasty beasties by constructing a series of towers and deploying heroes to assist them.
The above games are either available now over on Apple Arcade or will be soon. It is a subscription service that costs $4.99 per month. For more information on other games available in its extensive library, check out our dedicated hub page.
