TouchArcade Weekly Update Roundup: Noteworthy Game Updates
Hello everyone! Welcome back to our weekly roundup of significant game updates. This week's list features a mix of big-name titles, with a notable emphasis on free-to-play games and some Apple Arcade additions. You can always check for updates yourself via the TouchArcade forums, but this summary highlights the key updates you might have missed. Let's dive in!
Subway Surfers: Sydney's getting a green makeover! This update introduces a veggie-themed event. Collect veggie tokens to build a bean burger and unlock Billy Bean, along with new green characters, boards, and bundles. It's a fun, eco-conscious addition to the game.
Tiny Tower: Tap Idle Evolution: The summer event replaces the Olympics event. Serve VIPs, roll the dice for event points, and earn rewards at milestone thresholds. Weekly challenges and overall progress rewards add to the fun. As always, there's a pay-to-win aspect, but plenty of free rewards are available.
MARVEL Puzzle Quest: Hero RPG: Following the Deadpool and Wolverine event, this update focuses on post-event cleanup. This includes a rebalance for Old Man Logan (with a new costume) and the conclusion of the PVP Season of Mind. While mainly maintenance, it keeps the game running smoothly.
ANOTHER EDEN: This week's collaboration event features The King of Fighters, adding characters like Terry, Kyo, Mai, and Kula. A new Parallel Time Layer Ally, the Thornbound Witch Shanie, is also included. The inclusion of Mai earns this update our "UMMSotW" (Update Most Likely to Make Someone Say "Wow") award!
Temple Run: Legends: The new Outfit System lets you unlock and equip outfits to change character appearances and provide in-game advantages. Stylish and strategic!
TMNT Splintered Fate: This update brings several improvements from other platforms to the mobile version. Enjoy couch co-op, cross-platform online multiplayer, improved controller interfaces, enhanced graphics, and upgraded audio.
Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Princess and the Frog update introduces Tiana, a new restaurant and stall, Remy's culinary expertise, and a New Orleans-style parade. A great addition showcasing a less mainstream Disney film.
Outlanders: Volume VI of the Outlanders Chronicles arrives, introducing six new playable leaders and a storyline centered around a missing comet. Explore the rise and fall of a community shrouded in mystery.
SimCity BuildIt: Another Sydney-themed update, this time with an eco-friendly focus. Add green buildings like the Beam Wireless, Green Exchange, and Flower Bud, along with limited-time structures such as the Sydney Zoo and Paper Bag. Participate in the Mayor's Pass Season for extra rewards.
Merge Mansion: This week's free-to-play matching puzzle game update adds a new Speakeasy area, improvements to the Landing Room and Lounge, a new Mystery Pass with a pet, balance adjustments, and various upcoming events. Bug fixes are also included.
That concludes this week's update summary. Please comment below if you feel any noteworthy updates were omitted. Major updates will receive individual news stories throughout the week, and I'll be back next Monday with another comprehensive roundup. Have a great week!
