On April 3, "Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE" will debut exclusively on Apple Arcade. This marks the first original game in the Katamari franchise in nearly eight years. Players will roll the Katamari as instructed by the King of All Cosmos, maintaining the series' signature gameplay style. Bandai Namco Entertainment's game joins other popular titles on Apple Arcade such as "Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat," "Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom," and "PAC-MAN Party Royale."
Also launching on April 3 is "Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve" by TAITO CORPORATION. This new entry combines classic gameplay with modern elements, allowing players to switch between modes while adapting to enemy attacks.
Lykke Studios introduces "puffies.," a puzzle game that reimagines jigsaw puzzles using puffy stickers. Players can solve puzzles, unlock sticker packs, and compete on leaderboards.
Atari's "RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic+" invites players to design parks with features from previous successful installments of the series. Enhanced for iPhone and iPad, it includes expansion packs like Wacky Worlds and Time Twister.
"The Game of Life 2+" by Marmalade Game Studio offers an official sequel to Hasbro’s board game with exclusive content for Apple Arcade users. Players can explore unique job titles such as dolphin trainer or quantum mechanic.
Lastly, StoryToys presents "Sesame Street Mecha Builders+," a STEM-focused adventure featuring beloved characters like Elmo and Cookie Monster engaging young learners through mini-games.
In addition to these releases, existing games will receive updates across devices including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. Notable updates include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joining NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition on March 13 and new levels added to Skate City: New York on March 27.
