Oceanhorn 3 Opens Pre-Registration on Apple Arcade Ahead of March Launch
Oceanhorn 3 Returns With a New Adventure on Apple Arcade
After nearly seven years of silence, the beloved action adventure series is finally back. Oceanhorn 3 has officially opened pre-registration on Apple Arcade, with the full release scheduled for March 6.
The Oceanhorn franchise has long been praised for successfully capturing the spirit of classic adventure games inspired by The Legend of Zelda, while still carving out its own identity. With Oceanhorn 3, the developers aim to deliver their most ambitious entry yet.
A Story Set 1,000 Years After the Previous Game
Oceanhorn 3 takes place a full millennium after the events of the second installment. Players step into the role of a new hero who journeys across the Sea of Shadows alongside the pirate Em, uncovering the secrets of lost gods and restoring hope to the people of Red Town.
The narrative continues to build on the franchise’s lore, offering a more layered storyline filled with twists, mysteries, and emotional moments that expand the world in meaningful ways.
Refined Gameplay and Expanded Systems
This new entry introduces smoother combat, more fluid movement, and enhanced visuals compared to its predecessors. The world is larger and more detailed, with massive boss battles, optional side quests, and environmental storytelling that encourages exploration.
Players can expect brain-teasing puzzles scattered throughout the journey, a full skill tree system for character progression, and crafting mechanics that allow useful items to be created during the adventure. Notably, Oceanhorn 3 is also the first game in the series to introduce a first-person camera mode, allowing players to experience the world directly through the hero’s eyes.
A Premium Experience With No In-Game Monetization
As an Apple Arcade title, Oceanhorn 3 offers a premium experience without microtransactions or in-game purchases. Subscribers can enjoy the full game across iOS devices, macOS, and Apple TV, with offline play fully supported.
The game is available through a standalone Apple Arcade subscription or as part of Apple One, making it accessible to players who want a complete adventure without additional costs.
A Promising Comeback for the Series
With its expanded scope, refined mechanics, and deeper storytelling, Oceanhorn 3 looks poised to be a strong return for the franchise. Fans of classic action adventures and players looking for a polished, story-driven experience will want to keep this one on their radar.
