Space Invaders Unleashes Major Apple Arcade Update

• Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve is receiving a significant new update.
• The iconic Black-Fly craft from the cult classic Metal Black is making its debut.
• A wealth of new quality-of-life improvements has also been implemented.

Few game series are as timeless as Space Invaders. The gaming landscape would be vastly different without Taito's iconic arcade shooter. Now, the Apple Arcade-exclusive Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve is getting a major new update packed with fresh content.

This update's headline addition is the Black-Fly craft from Taito's cult classic arcade cabinet, Metal Black. Unlocked by collecting tokens, you can deploy this ship in battle. New achievements have also been added for dedicated completionists.

For Space Invaders enthusiasts, another key addition is the introduction of new enemies in Challenge Mode. The update also includes various presentation tweaks and a refreshed app icon.

But that's not all. Infinity Gene Evolve includes several other updates. The Home Bar now requires a double-tap, helping prevent accidental app switching. The developers have also announced plans for more regular updates, featuring new ships and stages.

In short, loyal players will welcome this refresh of the arcade classic. Apple Arcade hosts a wide array of such titles, both exclusive and multiplatform. You can explore them all, old and new, in our definitive list of Apple Arcade releases.
