From the App Store description:

Discover the heart of the Mountain. Navigate your way through a series of never before seen set pieces, revealing the mysterious Pitu, a brand new playable character along the way—only on Apple Arcade.

All of the new goals in the remastered version of the original will leverage Pitu’s unique abilities and tricks. For further information, visit the game’s App Store page.

There doesn’t seem to be any new biome in the remastered version, but we’re not ruling out that possibility. After all, a remastered Apple Arcade version of Alto’s sequel, dubbed “Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City,” arrived with a new biome and goals.

“On March 25, adventurers everywhere will embark on a journey to discover what lies at the heart of the mountain,” reads Snow’s Twitter post announcing “Alto’s Adventure: The Spirit of the Mountain” is coming soon to Apple Arcade. To be specific, a new version of the original award-winning endless snowboard journey is launching on Apple’s game-subscription service on Friday, March 25, 2022.
