PlatinumGames Releases World of Demons Today on Apple Arcade

PlatinumGames has released a brand new game exclusively on Apple Arcade. World of Demons is an action game that features a gorgeous art style inspired by traditional Japanese ukiyo-e and sumi-e woodblock prints. As samurai Onimaru, players will battle and recruit yokai and oni based on Japanese folklore creatures and demons. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/02/world-of-demons-official-trailer"] World of Demons is available as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service, and is playable on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. It is PlatinumGames’ first title for mobile. More information is available on the official World of Demons Twitter and Instagram accounts, including outlines of the battle system and a look at Platinum’s unusual take on yokai designs. There is also a World of Demons page on PlatinumGames’ homepage. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=world-of-demons-first-screenshots&captions=true"] World of Demons was originally announced in 2018, but the Bayonetta developer has been quiet about the title in recent months. Its sudden release on Apple Arcade comes the day after PlatinumGames announced another surprising title, Sol Cresta, which was first teased in 2020 as an April Fool’s gag, only to resurface as an all-too-real in-development game for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
