Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City launches on Apple Arcade with new challenges, biome, more

Today’s the day! The exciting new release from Team Alto has launched on Apple Arcade. Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City brings all the award-winning goodness from the original release and has evolved with a new biome to explore along with fresh challenges and content.

A range of hit iOS classics have been brought to Apple Arcade since April but most haven’t included major changes. Developers Snowman and Land & Sea – Team Alto took a different approach with Alto’s Odyssey arriving on Apple’s gaming platform via an all-new biome with the Lost City to join the existing ones: dune, canyons, and temples.

Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City will be exciting for veterans and newcomers alike. Along with the new biome, there are new challenges and beautiful content in the endless runner. And there’s even the slick integration to pick up with your saved progress from the original Alto’s Odyssey in the new Lost City Apple Arcade edition.

Plus, with iCloud support, you can enjoy seamless play across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV and there’s support for wireless controllers.

You can start playing Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City now on Apple Arcade.

Join Alto and his friends on an endless sandboarding journey to find The Lost City and unearth the secrets hidden within. Soar above windswept dunes, traverse thrilling canyons, explore ancient temples and delve into vast caverns in a fantastical place far from home.

On this journey, you’ll grind across vines, bounce atop hot air balloons, ride towering rock walls, glide in your wingsuit, and escape mischievous lemurs – all while uncovering the desert’s many mysteries.
