### Indie Titles Arriving on Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is poised to expand its gaming roster with the launch of three fresh titles on April 2: **DREDGE+**, **Unpacking+**, and **My Very Hungry Caterpillar+**. These games have received praise within the indie gaming scene and are expected to capture a wide audience on the subscription-based gaming platform.

#### DREDGE+

**DREDGE+** is a fishing adventure title that has enchanted gamers with its eerie ambiance and captivating gameplay. This iteration will encompass all previously launched downloadable content (DLC), including **The Pale Reach**, **The Iron Rig**, **Blackstone Key**, and a customized rod. Players will traverse misty archipelagos, seeking treasures and unveiling secrets hidden beneath the surface. The complete edition promises to offer the entire experience of this aquatic expedition.

#### Unpacking+

**Unpacking+** is a tranquil puzzle game that encourages players to indulge in the rewarding activity of unpacking boxes and organizing items in a new residence. Acknowledged as a Cultural Impact honoree at the 2023 App Store Awards, this game merges block-fitting puzzles with home styling. As players cultivate a living environment, they discover hints about the life being constructed, providing a joyful experience for players of every age.

#### My Very Hungry Caterpillar+

Inspired by the cherished character from children’s stories, **My Very Hungry Caterpillar+** lets players care for their own pet caterpillar. As players nourish, engage with, and explore the caterpillar’s universe, it grows and reveals new activities, culminating in a transformation into a butterfly. This interactive journey brings Eric Carle’s classic tale to life, offering a delightful and educational adventure for families.

### More Updates

Alongside the new titles, Apple Arcade will also include a Star Wars-themed update to **Disney SpellStruck** on March 19 and a new **Puyo Puyo Garden mode** for **Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop** on April 9.
