TouchArcade Weekly Update Roundup: Noteworthy Game Updates
Hello everyone! Welcome back to our weekly review of significant game updates. This week's list features several big-name titles, with a noticeable lean towards free-to-play games, but also includes some Apple Arcade gems. It's a diverse selection with interesting updates worth exploring. Remember, you can always track updates yourself through the TouchArcade forums. This summary highlights some you might have missed. Let's dive in!
Subway Surfers: Sydney's taking center stage with a veggie-themed update! Collect veggie tokens, craft a bean burger, and unlock Billy Bean. Expect a host of green characters, boards, and bundles. It's a "go green" extravaganza! Save the planet, folks – it's the only one we have (for now!).
Tiny Tower: Tap Idle Evolution: The Olympic event has concluded, making way for a summer-themed event. Serve VIPs, roll the dice for event points, and earn rewards at various milestones. Each week offers new challenges, with final rewards based on your overall progress. Different VIPs award varying points, and while pay-to-win elements exist, there are free rewards to be had.
MARVEL Puzzle Quest: Hero RPG: The Deadpool and Wolverine event has wrapped up, including a rebalance for Old Man Logan and a new costume. The latest PVP Mind Season has also ended, so keep an eye out for the next one. This update is primarily focused on post-event adjustments.
ANOTHER EDEN: A King of Fighters collaboration event is underway! This update also introduces Shanie, the Thornbound Witch, as a new Parallel Time Layer Ally. Mai, Terry, Kyo, and Kula are all featured. This earns the "UMMSotW" (Update Most Mentioning Mai Shiranui of the Week) award!
Temple Run: Legends: This stage-based Temple Run game receives a new Outfit System, allowing you to unlock and equip outfits to customize character appearances and gain various advantages during runs. Stylish and strategic!
TMNT Splintered Fate: Improvements from other platforms arrive in this mobile update, including couch co-op, cross-platform online multiplayer, enhanced controller interfaces, and graphical/audio enhancements. It's like getting extra pizza toppings!
Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Princess and the Frog update brings Tiana, a new restaurant and stall, Remy, and a New Orleans-style parade. It's great to see less prominent Disney films represented!
Outlanders: Volume VI of the Outlanders Chronicles introduces six new playable leaders and explores the rise and fall of a community affected by a missing comet. A mysterious storyline unfolds!
SimCity BuildIt: Another Sydney-themed update, this one with an eco-friendly focus. Add green buildings like the Beam Wireless, Green Exchange, and Flower Bud. Limited-time structures include the Sydney Zoo and Paper Bag. Participate in the Mayor's Pass Season!
Merge Mansion: This week's free-to-play matching puzzle game update introduces a new Speakeasy area, Landing Room and Lounge improvements, a new Mystery Pass with a pet, balance adjustments, and upcoming events. Bug fixes are also included.
That’s a wrap for last week's notable updates! Let us know in the comments if you feel any significant updates were omitted. Major updates will receive individual news stories this week, and I’ll be back next Monday with another summary. Have a great week!
