Apple Arcade is getting a bundle of new games in July 2025, including some returning classics, and new twists on old formulas. The headliner here is a new take on Angry Birds, called Angry Birds Bounce, which mixes the franchise’s slingshot gameplay with ‘arcade-style brick-breaker mechanics.’ But that announcement may pale in comparison to the arrival of a Bluey and Fruit Ninja crossover.
As announced, Fruit Ninja Classic+ by Halfbrick Studios, a developer based out of Brisbane, Australia, has teamed up with the creators of Bluey to introduce new themed levels to the game. From 19 June, Apple Arcade subscribers will be able to pop in for an exclusive crossover event featuring ‘special Bluey-themed wands, wand powers, dojos and many easter eggs.’
It’s a lovely bit of synergy, particularly given Halfbrick Studios is such a prominent name in the local Australian game development scene.
