The Panoramic Edition of each game will cost £6.99, or they can be purchased as the Panoramic Collection bundle with a 15 percent discount. They will be available from 12th July.

"We believe that Monument Valley: Panoramic Collection is the most sublime way to play these games and are thrilled to introduce their unique worlds to a whole new audience. It is our hope that these remastered versions of the beloved series will provide a meaningful experience to seasoned and new players alike,'' said ustwo games game director Jennifer Estaris.

The games have collectively won 29 awards, including the BAFTA British Game Award 2015 and the Game Awards Best Mobile Game 2017, and have been downloaded 100 million times globally.
