Updated on October 28th, at 8:39: Whoops. It seems like the longest journey is going to be a little longer still, as the game will only be available in New Zealand and Australia for the time being.
A spokesperson for Funcom told Pocket Gamer, "We're using Australia and New Zealand as test markets for an initial release, and if all goes well we hope to release it in more markets very soon."

Rise of Nations developer Big Huge Games has been brought back from the dead, and has announced a new iOS and Android game called DomiNations.
It sounds a lot like Civilization. The game lets you choose a nation, unlock new technologies, build the Wonders of the World, recruit famous generals, and advance through the eras from the Stone Age to the Space Age.
And to help out, Civilization...
Updated on October 28th, at 8:39: Whoops. It seems like the longest journey is going to be a little longer still, as the game has not yet appeared on App Store regions outside of New Zealand and Australia.
We've reached out to Funcom to find out when this Remastered port of the classic adventure game will reach western shores.
Original story follows…

NB Games is bringing its colourful shooter Bullet Hell Infinite to iOS and Android later this week.
As you can see by watching the video above, Bullet Hell Infinite is inspired by the classic Danmaku shooters of the '90s. Although it's not quite as ridiculous as some of those older games.
It's all about shooting tons of brightly coloured bullets at moving formations of enemies while simulta...
Dark Fear is not only inspired by classic Sierra adventure games from the 1980s, but it looks a lot like them, too.
It's for this reason that it stood out to me - those memories from my childhood sat in front of a computer screen came flooding back to me.
Don't worry if you're not familiar with those older game. Developer Arif Games assures us that Dark Fear will ease even the most novice of...
The trajectory of Swedish studio Simogo would be hard to plot on any graph. The duo, and their collaborators, have gone from bouncy cartoon arcade games to creepy horror romps to esoteric ebooks.
Its latest - The Sailor's Dream - is perhaps the strangest one yet. It's a hazy oceanic experience where you're asked to simply "satisfy your curiosity", explore intriguing locations, and take in a...
Simogo has revealed that its mysterious "narrative experience" The Sailor's Dream will arrive on iOS on November 6th.
It has also released a new trailer for the game that you can watch above.
It scans across the game's various locations, including a lighthouse, a small house upon the ocean, and celestial sanctuaries.
At the end, a man talks about the starry night and how that means t...
If Maria the Witch and Rovio's Retry were to ever run into each other at a party, there'd be an immediate argument about who should go home and change.
Granted, the two games seem like they're miles apart on paper. Maria the Witch is about a clumsy young magic-user that needs to get a handle on her broom, whereas Retry is about a clumsy pilot that needs to perform some serious maintenance on th...
Did you know that Song's karaoke game SingStar now works with iOS and Android smartphones?
Yep. You can now toss your plastic microphones in the bin like so much garbage and use the microphone in your mobile. It's easy to set up, but just in case you need a helping hand here's how it all works:
First things first, get the free SingStar Mic app for your phone. It's here on the App...
Dungelot studio Red Winter Software has announced a new puzzle-RPG for iOS and Android called Lost Viking.
Essentially, as the studio itself admits, Red Winter has taken the tile-sliding play of Threes and 2048 and given it a story.
In it, you have to help Ragnar reach Valhalla by battling like-bearded brutes and riding rams across the snowy terrain.
You do this by matching runes tha...
Funcom is bringing its classic PC adventure game The Longest Journey Remastered to iOS tonight.
We first heard word of this iOS port way back in 2011. The reason for the three-year holdup is anyone's guess.
Perhaps it's a matter of timing. After all, the game's episodic sequel Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey came out on PC and consoles earlier this month.
Anyway, this Remastered v...
Arty dodge-racer Proun+ for iOS and 3DS finally has a trailer for us to watch. It also reveals that the game will be available this autumn, which means it should be here in the next month or so.
We first caught word of Proun coming to iOS and 3DS a year ago. Nothing has been heard since. So this trailer came as quite a pleasant surprise.
What the trailer shows us is that the game looks about...
It's Halloween, and we all know what that means – it's time for everything on the App Store to get a tangentially spooky update.
Spooky birds. Spooky guns. Spooky spooky.
Because we like you, and your penchant for pumpkins, we've made a list of some of the note-worthy games that have been updated for this most macabre of celebrations.
So don't come and throw eggs at our house. That'd be r...
Remember how long it took to break free of the black and white screen on portable devices?
LCDs and colour just didn't mix until surprisingly recently. And yet, a game like Felllice can now harness that monochromatic limitation and use it to look quite stunning.
Simplistically beautiful or not, a game needs substance, and in that respect the obscurely titled Felllice might be too minimal for...
I went hands-on with Tiny Realms way back in July, when the game was soft launched.
I definitely thought it was kind of cool, but it also felt very much like a take on Clash of Clans, with the UI being particularly "inspired" by Supercell's mobile strategy classic.
The game has now gone global, so I thought it high time to revisit it and bring you a full review here on Pocket Gamer. Which is...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
Surprise surprise, it's been another big week for new mobile games.
There was splishy-splashy Agents of Storm, PikPok screen-flicker Rival Stars Basketball, weirdy beardy Felllice, Napoleonic strategy game Penisular, tactics epic Battle Academy 2, and same-screen party game M...
Free to play games are ten a penny on the app store. At least they would be if they cost anything. And very many of them are very awful, and unworthy of the time and attention of dedicated gamers.
Sometimes, though, there are some surprising hits. So when no lesser name than Hironobu Sakaguchi (of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger fame) released one, we felt we had to take notice.
The game wa...
Shades is a Tetris-like puzzle game that asks players to pair colors, rather than different shaped blocks, to clear the board.
It launched on the App Store in September.
According to the developers, Shades was featured in Apple's "Best New Games" category and ranked #1 in the US and UK App Store's paid "Puzzle Games" section.
Usually selling for £1.49 / $1.99 on the App Store, Shades...
Originally £2.99 / $4.99 on the App Store, Minority Media's Spirits of Spring has received a price cut to £1.49 / $1.99.
According to this tweet from Minority Media, the new price tag is permanent.
From the developers of Papo Yo, Spirits of Spring is a fantastical adventure that follows a young boy named Chiwatin on a quest to restore balance to his world.
The game also explores the con...
Updated on October 24th at 18:50: Seabeard's publisher Backflip Studios got in contact to let us know that the soft-launch is not exclusive to Canada.
Yep, it's available in the Mexican and the Netherlands App Store, as well as Canadian one.
If you have an iTunes account tied to any of those countries you can download the game for free right now.
