APPLE today announced Disney Melee Mania, from Singapore-based developer Mighty Bear Games, will be joining the more than 200 games on its gaming subscription service, Apple Arcade.
Players will join forces in rumble-ready teams featuring fan-favourite Disney and Pixar characters, who will duke it out in a never-before-seen virtual arena. From Wreck-It Ralph, Elsa, and Mickey Mouse to Frozone, Moana, and Buzz Lightyear, each player will choose their unique holographic hero to battle in 3v3 matches with friends and foes as they vie to become the ultimate Disney champions.
“We’re thrilled to work with Disney to bring these beloved characters to the first-ever Disney and Pixar battle arena game, available exclusively on Apple Arcade,” said Simon Davis, Mighty Bear Games’ CEO. “Fans will compete with arcade-style Disney and Pixar champions in a fun and frenzied all-out brawl to survive the chaotic melee and stay in the spotlight.”
Each champion will appear in a distinct action-ready design equipped with their own set of iconic moves and unlockable cosmetics. Throughout five-minute battle arena matches, players will need to score the most points possible – or defeat the opposing team as many times as they can – for a chance at victory. They’ll join fast-paced multi-player battles that put each character’s unique abilities to the test in close-combat competition, with multiple modes and challenges to test their skills, and also earn in-game rewards from events.
Highly anticipated games and new content updates are added weekly to the service, including Lego Star Wars: Castaways, which launches Friday, November 19. The game is the first online social, action-adventure Lego Star Wars title. After crash-landing on a mysterious planet in the middle of a maelstrom, players will introduce themselves to brand new characters, and meet up with other players in a thriving social hub of activity as they play and compete in a variety of games.
Apple Arcade offers unlimited access to a growing collection of over 200 premium games. The service features new releases, award winners, and beloved favourites from the App Store, including NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition, Sneaky Sasquatch, Mini Motorways, The Oregon Trail, Sonic Racing, FANTASIAN, Solitaire by MobilityWare, Tiny Wings, and Crossy Road Castle – all without ads or in-app purchases.
For those interested – and obviously own an Apple device – Apple Arcade is available for RM19.90 per month, with a one-month free trial. Customers who purchase a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple TV receive three months of Apple Arcade for free. – The Vibes, November 16, 2021
