The action-adventure game The Pathless has returned to mobile with a new standalone release for iOS, bringing back the joy of archery and exploration in a massive open world. Initially an Apple Arcade and console exclusive, you can now dive into this captivating game without needing a subscription or a console.
Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless offers a minimalist yet content-rich experience. As a nameless hunter, you embark on a quest to lift a curse from an expansive island, using mystical powers and your trusty bow and arrow to navigate and conquer challenges.
