Summary

• Katamari Damacy Rolling Live will be exclusively available on Apple Arcade starting April 3.
• The game features the King of All Cosmos, who will stream players’ rolling efforts live.
• This launch will be accompanied by five other new titles on Apple Arcade, along with new content for existing games.

A new Katamari Damacy game is on its way, but it comes with a caveat: it will only be accessible through Apple’s subscription service, Apple Arcade. This marks the return of the beloved franchise after several years of dormancy. The Katamari series, known for its quirky gameplay, tasks players with rolling a sticky ball to collect various objects in a creative quest to form a new star.

While the franchise has mostly been quiet since 2012, a remaster released in 2023 of We Love Katamari reignited interest among fans. With the new title, players will encounter a fresh twist as they roll their Katamari live, with the King engaging with their streaming exploits. The greater the player’s achievements, the more interaction and new levels will be unlocked.

For fans eager to experience the return of Katamari, Apple Arcade offers a one-month free trial, after which a subscription fee of $6.99 applies.
