Apple has announced that a new Lego Star Wars action-adventure title, titled "Castaways," is coming to its Apple Arcade gaming service.

Players will solve puzzles, battle foes, pilot ships, and hone their skills in battle arenas.

The latest Lego Star Wars title is being developed for Apple Arcade by Gameloft.

"Lego Star Wars: Castaways" isn't the first Star Wars property to join Apple Arcade. Earlier in 2021, real-time strategy game "Lego Star Wars Battles" was added to the platform. It also isn't the first Lego title to hit the Apple gaming subscriptions service. Past Lego games include "Lego Brawls" and "Lego: Builder's Journey."

According to Apple, "Lego Star Wars: Castaways" is expected to debut on Apple Arcade on Nov. 19, 2021. Apple Arcade costs $4.99 a month.
