The service doesn’t yet have a set price, and it’s coming in the fall of 2019. It will include over 100 exclusive games for iOS, Apple TV, and Mac.

The games won’t be streamed, but you’ll simply be able to download them on your devices of choice.

The trailer showcased five interesting games, including Fantasian by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and his Mistawalker Corporation studio. Interestingly, the studio is using filmed dioramas to create the levels of the title.

We heard from Sakaguchi-san himself at the end of last year that he was working on a new project, and this is likely it.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
