Spain’s Digital Legends and South Korea’s Gamevil teamed up to release the realistic mobile shooter Afterpulse in 2015. The game got more than 10 million downloads and won various awards.

The previous game was shut down by Gamevil in October. But now developer Digital Legends has taken over and is re-publishing the game with updated visuals. Afterpulse is relaunching on iOS today fully optimized for the iPhone X and iOS 11. It runs at 60 frames per second and takes advantage of Apple’s Metal applications programming interface (API) for better graphics.
