In what looks like it will be the first in a number of exclusive announcements German developer Deep Silver Fishlabs has revealed Galaxy on Fire 3 - Manticore Rising.

It's a prequel to the forthcoming Galaxy on Fire 3 - Manticore, and will be available exclusively on Apple TV when the device is launched in October.

Start the rush

Other exclusive or forthcoming games coming to Apple TV include Harmonix's Guitar Hero Live and its Wii Sports-esque Beat Sports, plus Gamevil's new shooter Afterpulse and Activision's Skylanders SuperChargers.

Hipster Whale's Crossy Road will gain a new multiplayer mode.

Already released games that have been highlighted by Apple as being launch titles for Apple TV include Ubisoft's Rayman Adventures, Triada's puzzle game Shadowmatic, Supergiant's Transistor, Activision's Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions and Disney's Disney Infinity 3.0.

Interesting, Apple is also highlighting the fact that the new Apple TV will support MFI-based thirdparty gamepads, displaying SteelSeries' Nimbus controller on the official Apple TV website for "serious gamers".
