The sequel to one of the best mobile games ever made is just around the corner - here's everything we know

"Alto's Adventure" is arguably one of the very best mobile games ever made - or, at least, both critics and the players agree.

There are three key factors that have come into play for its success: Its dead-simple, one-button gameplay mechanics, its arcade-based, addictive nature which allows you to enjoy it for one minute or three hours all the same - and a strikingly gorgeous artistic direction, that makes Alto's titular adventure extremely pleasing to the eyes and ears.

The game originally came out in 2015, and fans have been waiting for a sequel for a long time. Developer Snowman first announced it in the summer of 2016, with an initial debut scheduled for a year later.

"Alto's Odyssey" was then pushed back to 2018, but on Monday Snowman has announced all the details you need to know about it.
