Apple’s App Retailer assessment has but once more let no less than one unofficial cell port of a sizzling new recreation present up on the shop – this time, it’s Blue Prince.
In a joint put up on Monday, Blue Prince’s developer, Dogubomb, and its writer, Uncooked Fury, stated that they’ve “acquired stories of video games claiming to be Blue Prince on iOS.” Presently, the sport is just accessible on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.
I simply discovered one iOS copy of the sport simply by looking Blue Prince on the App Retailer – it was the primary search consequence. The icon seems like it might be the icon for a hypothetical cell model of the sport, the itemizing has screenshots that seem like they’re certainly from Blue Prince, and the outline for the sport matches the outline on Steam.
However on the iOS clone’s itemizing, the sport’s vendor is listed as “Samet Altinay,” and I can’t discover any connection between this particular person and Blue Prince exterior of this App Retailer itemizing. The copyright can be attributed to “DogBomb,” as an alternative of Dogubomb.
I bought this unofficial model of Blue Prince, which prices $9.99, and put in it on my iPhone 16 Professional to check it out. In a couple of minutes of taking part in, it seems to be a barely-modified model of the particular Blue Prince recreation, although with just a few tweaks to make it better-suited for cell, like a digital joystick. I’ve additionally already run into a serious bug: after I tried to stroll via one of many doorways from the Entrance Corridor, I fell via the ground.
Apple didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark. Based on the itemizing, this unofficial cell port is the #8 paid app within the Leisure class on iOS. However thus far, it solely has one three-star assessment, with the author saying in addition they hit a bug that triggered them to fall via the ground.
Dogubomb and Uncooked Fury haven’t formally introduced an iOS port of Blue Prince. “We have now no information about different platforms at the moment, but when that modifications we are going to make an official announcement,” they stated within the put up. “Whereas we examine we’d kindly ask that you don’t buy or obtain these apps.”
Apple has beforehand allowed copycats of video games like Wordle and Palworld to look on the App Retailer.
