Apple Arcade is set to get a range of new games and DLC in September 2025, including some exclusive titles. The headliner of the bunch is technically NFL Retro Bowl ’26, but long-time platform subscribers will likely be equally (if not more) excited about the announced arrival of Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Wheatflour Wonderland.

This DLC, which was recently announced in a Nintendo Direct, is a significant new chapter for the cosy adventure game, introducing a whole new world – Wheatflour Wonderland – where you’ll find ‘waving grain, stained-glass castles and mysterious ruins’ as well as a new character, Cogimyun.

Cogimyun is a new friend in need of aid, with their request centred around a special Ancient Citadel which houses a ‘great treasure’ to uncover. You’ll have 35 individual friendship levels to unlock when you meet Cogimyun, and their arrival also introduces an array of other features.

That includes new abilities, furniture, clothing, puzzles, challenges, and a magic wand item that lets you cast magic and transform into creatures, as well as items. In addition to all of this, Wheatflour Wonderland introduces new collectible ‘Wheathearts’ which can be exchanged for themed rewards.

While this DLC will be paid on most platforms, Apple Arcade subscribers will get it as a free update, as long as their subscription remains active.
