Science experiments and secret laboratories are going to be ruined once again and there’s nothing anyone can do.

Amazing Bomberman (August 5th)

Konami’s competitive action game is also gracing the platform. It is part of the Bomberman series with breathtaking visuals and music made exclusively for the mobile version.

My Talking Tom+ (August 12th)

Another iconic game, everyone’s favourite virtual pet game returns to Apple Arcade, in a new and reimagined form. Just like any real pet, players must tend to Tom, feeding him, playing with him, and most importantly, petting him, a lot. He’s an absolute delight for kids because he will repeat everything they say while giving funny reactions too.

Love You To Bits+ (August 26th)

Alike Studio’s cute, point-and-click, sci-fi puzzler will be the final game part of this month’s line-up. Players take on the role of Kosmo, a clumsy space explorer who is looking for his robot girlfriend Nora, whose pieces are scattered throughout space due to an accident. The game takes players to the most bizarre places as they embark on this gut-wrenching love story.

Apple Arcade is a monthly subscription service that costs $4.99/month and gives access to a plethora of excellent games.
