AFK Journey, the eagerly anticipated spin-off and quasi-sequel to AFK Arena, is set to make its iOS debut by the end of this month, according to recent revelations.
The official iOS listing of the game points to a release date of March 27th, following its earlier launch on Android in certain regions. The confirmation of this release date is further reinforced by a newly released trailer.
Meanwhile, users in the United Kingdom have already had access to AFK Journey on Android.
Immersing players in the enchanting realm of Esperia and reintroducing a cast of familiar recruitable heroes from AFK Arena, AFK Journey elevates the gaming experience from a simple 2D strategy format to a fully realized 3D world.
Players are invited to explore vibrant towns, bustling cities, and a diverse wilderness at their own leisure. As we highlighted in our preview coverage, while there were minor issues to address, the game as a whole represents a remarkable evolution from the original AFK title.
Our initial encounters with AFK Journey have left us quite impressed. The feature allowing players to manipulate time, slowing it down to issue precise ability orders, along with the introduction of stage hazards and traps, injects a new layer of strategy into the auto-battler genre.
The game’s delightful art style serves as a significant highlight, ensuring a visually pleasing experience. Additionally, the return of Farsight’s distinctive AFK mechanic remains a major draw, enabling players to collect rewards upon re-engaging with the game after a period of inactivity.
AFK Journey promises to be a captivating extension of the AFK Arena universe, offering an immersive 3D adventure, strategic depth, and the beloved features that fans have come to cherish.
With its imminent arrival on iOS, players can eagerly anticipate an enriched gaming experience that builds upon the success of its predecessor. You can get the AFK Journey app on Play Store and Apple Store as well.
