Apple has announced that Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea will launch exclusively on Apple Arcade on March 5, 2026. The action-RPG-adventure game continues the series nearly a thousand years after Oceanhorn 2, featuring exploration, combat, and puzzles. Three other titles join the service on the same date: Pocket Love!+, Flow Free+, and Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story+.
Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea marks a new chapter in the action-adventure franchise developed by Cornfox & Brothers. Set nearly a thousand years after the events of Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm, the game follows characters including Em and her crew as they explore lost islands in the Shadow Sea, battle ancient Titans, and protect the people of Red Town from threats. It includes a full-length main storyline, optional side adventures, massive boss battles, intricate puzzles, and an evolved combat system with a skill tree. New traversal mechanics and the Stream of Creation feature enhance gameplay, all presented with console-quality visuals in a 3D experience. No prior experience with the series is required.
"The upcoming release of Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea on Apple Arcade represents the culmination of five years of passionate work, bringing a brand-new adventure to life for players of all ages," said Heikki Repo, creator of the Oceanhorn series and creative director at Cornfox & Brothers. "With the support of our friends at Apple, we’ve crafted something truly special. We’re excited for both longtime fans and new adventurers to explore a rich new world filled with compelling characters and an unforgettable story."
The game will be playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, blending exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving for RPG fans. Joining it on March 5 are Pocket Love!+, a cozy life simulation from HyperBeard where players build homes, nurture relationships, adopt pets, and engage in mini-games; Flow Free+, a puzzle game from Big Duck Games with over 9,000 levels to connect colors via pipes, including daily challenges and Time Trial mode; and Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story+, a management simulation from Kairosoft Co. where players run a sweets shop with Doraemon, using gadgets to prepare treats and welcome characters from the manga series.
All titles join Apple Arcade's catalog without ads or in-app purchases. The service, available for $6.99 per month in the U.S. with a one-month free trial, supports up to six family members and features over 200 games compatible with various Apple devices.
