Apple Arcade is set to have a solid November 2022, with a small range of hits landing on the subscription platform in the coming weeks. The lineup is led by blockbusters, including a SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off and a mobile version of Football Manager 2023, but there are also two other gems that may shine brighter than the month’s headliners.

As part of the App Store Greats selection, both Battleheart Legacy+ and Old Man’s Journey+ are being added to Apple Arcade.

Battleheart Legacy is an action RPG with a classic blocky art style and combat reminiscent of the PlayStation One era. While it may appear simple on the surface, it’s an adventure with layers of depth, a huge world to explore, and plenty of charm. This was originally a hit on mobile devices, then landed on PC, and now – it’s coming back to mobile.

Joining it is Old Man’s Journey, a frankly gorgeous narrative that follows an old man on a dialogue-free adventure through various landscapes and towns, with each step along his path dotted by unique environmental puzzles. Old Man’s Journey will absolutely make you cry, but you’ll be a better person for having experienced the tale.

Here’s the full rundown of every game coming to Apple Arcade in November 2022, courtesy of Apple.
