Katamari Damacy makes a comeback on Apple Arcade this April

Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE lands on Apple Arcade on April 3, bringing a modern twist to its classic gameplay alongside other nostalgic favourites.

Apple Arcade is set to welcome several exciting titles next month, with the long-awaited Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE arriving on April 3. This marks the first original Katamari game in nearly eight years, bringing back its signature quirky gameplay with a fresh, modern twist. Fans of the beloved series, known for its absurd yet charming premise, will once again roll up objects under the whimsical orders of the King of All Cosmos.

A modern spin on classic Katamari gameplay

While staying true to its original charm, Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE introduces a new interactive element—players will engage with a live stream hosted by the King himself. As you roll up objects and grow your Katamari, an in-game audience will react in real time, providing commentary and feedback. This clever feature blends modern digital culture with the classic Katamari experience, making gameplay more dynamic and immersive.

The game’s colourful landscapes, bizarre humour, and addictive rolling mechanics remain intact, ensuring that both longtime fans and newcomers will enjoy the latest addition to the franchise.

More classic games are joining Apple Arcade

Katamari Damacy isn’t the only nostalgic title coming to Apple Arcade in April. Fans of retro gaming can also look forward to:

  • Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve – A refreshed take on the classic Taito shooter, bringing modern visuals and gameplay twists.
  • RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic+ – Atari’s beloved theme park simulator, now optimised for iOS with enhanced features.

With these major additions, Apple Arcade continues to expand its library, offering players a mix of nostalgic favourites and exciting new experiences. Whether you’re a fan of rolling up everything in sight, defending against pixelated alien invaders, or building the ultimate theme park, April’s lineup promises something for everyone.
