Apple Arcade weekly update: Baldo, Asphalt 8: Airborne and Detonation Racing

It's another particularly busy week for Apple Arcade news once again. This week, we learned about two games heading to the service in the coming weeks alongside an explosive looking racing game that's arriving on Friday. Beyond that, there's an update for SMG Studio's SP!NG for fans of the game to get excited about.

Coming soon

Baldo

On 27th August players will be treated to the beautiful looking action RPG Baldo. It promises a magical land to explore that's packed with puzzles and dungeons to plunder. Outside of that, there are multiple weird and wonderful characters to chat with whilst complete side and main quests.

Asphalt 8: Airborne

Gameloft's Asphalt 8: Airbone will race onto Apple Arcade soon. It's proven a popular game over the years, partly thanks to an extensive collection of 240 plus official cars that include recognisable manufacturers such as Ferrari, Ducati, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti, Mercedes, Audi, Ford, Chevrolet.

There's plenty of content to dive into as well, with over 50 tracks to race around, over 400 career events, 1500 car mastery challenges, six game modes and singleplayer content for those who prefer to race alone.

It promises an easy to pick and play racing experience that can be enjoyed solo, locally with friends or online. You can check out the embedded trailer below to get a feel for the explosive nature of the game.
