So it could be an incredible showstopper to see this nostalgic game concept become a reality. Apple likes to showcase game developers at WWDC and other keynotes to highlight the power of its best iPhone at the time of the event. Remaking Temple Run would also tap into the nostalgia of what the game brings.

This is why it would be great to see a remake of Temple Run arrive on iOS someday with ray-tracing and ProMotion, Apple's take on higher-framerate displays - unless Imangi Studios are already developing this behind the scenes. With ray-tracing being showcased by Snapdragon (opens in new tab), a company responsible for many processors in smartphones and other devices, it might not be too long before we see the same graphical boost in iPhones. Many gamers who grew up with these games want to see them remade with today's graphics, which is why we're seeing concept videos like the one above. However, with the App Store approaching its 15th anniversary, we're reaching the point with iPhone games where they're becoming nostalgic to a generation. Granted, there would be games in the years following Temple Run that would be inspired by it, such as Sonic Dash (opens in new tab).

While a sequel arrived in 2013 (opens in new tab), there's something about the original, still available to download (opens in new tab), that made it a classic on iPhone. Temple Run arguably began the endless-runner category on iOS.
