• News

Rabbids: Legends of the Multiverse from Ubisoft is a deck building game featuring a crazy collection of characters exploring five outlandish universes. It just launched for iPhone, Mac and more.

It is joined by three classic games that are all now playable via Apple Arcade.

Rather than paying individually for games, or enduring irritating calls to make in-app purchases in “free” games, Apple Arcade offers over 200 choices for a single $6.99-per-month fee.

Additional games used to debut on the service weekly, but a new strategy has each month’s new titles launch at the same time. That includes four fresh options on Thursday.

Rabbids: Legends of the Multiverse by Ubisoft

The only original game added is Ubisoft’s Rabbids: Legends of the Multiverse.

Apple Arcade says:

“Embark on the wackiest journey as the mischievous Rabbids run amok across the multiverse. In this zany new adventure, players must gather their wits and build the ultimate deck, featuring an eclectic mix of knights, ninjas, pirates, cowboy Rabbids, and more. They will explore five outlandish universes, from the Noodles Valleys of Dragon Land to the mighty Mount Rabbidsmore, encountering absurd Rabbids at every turn.”

As noted, it’s a deck-building game in which players collect virtual cards to assemble a team.

Rabbids: Legends of the Multiverse is in the App Store now. It offers solo play or two players, and supports iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.

Plus three App Store classics

Another difference between the new and the original version is that any in-app purchases have been stripped out. Apple Arcade doesn’t allow them. The same goes for ads, loot boxes and invasive player tracking.

Three of these Greats launched June 6.

Return to Monkey Island+ is the third in Ron Gilbert’s series of classic games. It continues the story of Guybrush Threepwood, his zombie pirate nemesis LeChuck, and his true love Elaine Marley. The adventure game is playable on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and it supports game controllers.

Tomb of the Mask+ by Playgendary challenges players to work through a labyrinth with intricate twists and turns. Beware — there are hidden traps and many enemies to overcome on your path. It’s a single-player adventure game for iPhone and iPad.

Fabulous – Wedding Disaster+ by GameHouse is a wedding-themed time management game. It’s for lovers of fashion, romance and celebrity gossip. This is a single-player strategy game available for iPhone and iPad.

That’s because he’s a “tablet first” type of guy. Rather than use a Macbook, he connects a keyboard case to the iPad. And instead of a desktop Mac, he connects his tablet to a 27-inch display and full-size keyboard. (So don’t try to tell him that everyone has to use a Mac to be productive.)
