April 2026 Brings Sea of Stars, DREDGE Plus, and FIFA Heroes to Mobile
Sea of Stars hits iOS and Android April 7 at $9.99 with cross-progression; DREDGE+ lands on Apple Arcade tomorrow as a zero-IAP complete edition.
The same Sabotage Studio RPG that earned console players' devotion in 2023 arrives on iOS and Android on April 7, priced at $9.99, with a 10% pre-order discount already live. Publisher Playdigious rebuilt Sea of Stars with dedicated touchscreen controls while keeping full physical controller support intact. Cloud saves sync progress across both platforms, so switching between an Android phone and an iPad mid-playthrough costs nothing. The characters Valere and Zale, the Children of the Solstice, were always a good fit for handheld play; a single purchase covers everything, no subscription required.
Apple Arcade gets its headliner tomorrow. DREDGE+ joins the service on April 2 as the complete edition of Black Salt Games' award-winning fishing horror, bringing the full base game and its DLC expansions under the Arcade umbrella. That means no additional purchases if you already pay for the subscription, and no ads interrupting the moment the sun drops below the horizon and the water turns wrong. Unpacking+ and My Very Hungry Caterpillar+ join the catalog the same day, but DREDGE is the one worth rearranging your commute for.
Radiant: Guardians of Light follows on April 4 before the month's most unexpected release closes things out. FIFA Heroes, developed by ENVER Studio, launches free-to-play on iOS, Android, and PC on April 28, just weeks ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026. It is not simulation football. The game casts Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham alongside mythological figures including Thor and Sun Wukong in 5v5 arcade matches with hero abilities, pitching the FIFA brand directly at the kind of fast competitive loops that EA Sports FC does not attempt. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox versions are planned to follow the mobile and PC launch, with cross-progression across platforms.
For mapping the month: DREDGE+ on Apple Arcade is the commute pick, built for dark headphone sessions and short natural stopping points between islands. Sea of Stars with a paired Bluetooth controller is the at-home option, with cloud saves removing any friction from picking it back up on a different device. FIFA Heroes, with its 5v5 structure and free entry point, is the clearest 20-minute session game of the four. If you have been waiting to see what FIFA does without EA, April 28 is when that question gets answered.
