'Jetpack Joyride 2' will be an Apple Arcade exclusive

Jetpack Joyride's sequel is coming, and Apple fans will be happy to learn they get exclusive access to the title. The aptly named Jetpack Joyride 2 is essentially a sequel to the original game with gameplay style and graphics quite similar to the original. Jetpack Joyride is an infinite runner where your player flies using a jetpack inside a lab while trying to dodge missiles and other obstacles.

With this new game, you'll "team up with Barry and Betty" to stop the scientists' experiments before it's too late. You can expect high-resolution graphics and new mechanics in this sequel, though. Developer Halfbrick Studios promise there will be "new ways" to play, but it is unclear what that means. Jetpack Joyride 2 was silently released in a few countries last year on Android and iOS, but Halfbrick says that was a "closed phase development," and now it's an Apple Arcade exclusive. It'll launch on August 19.

'Fruit Ninja 2' is now available for mobile

Fruit Ninja makes a comeback 10 years later in the form of Fruit Ninja 2. While Halfbrick Studios' game offers similar gameplay to the original, it adds mini-games and real-time competitive matches to shake things up. It's still your job as a ninja to slice those fruits, but there are new characters, blades, and massive power-ups you can unlock. You even tend and grow a garden here. The game is available for both Android and iOS as a free-to-play title with ads and in-app purchases.
