A little news. Assassin’s Creed Shadows has pushed its release date back to February 14th. Resident Evil 2 REmake is coming to macOS on 31st December. The ever addictive card game Balatro is now in Apple Arcade. On my travels I noticed that the Epic Store website has a new filter for iOS games. No games listed yet but I imagine it won’t be long.
