Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE
The eagerly awaited Katamari game, the first in eight years, will debut exclusively on Apple Arcade. Created by Bandai Namco, this action-packed title invites players to roll around their Katamari, an adhesive sphere, to collect various objects. The game’s App Store description encourages players to “Roll, stick and grow,” as they expand their Katamari by gathering items which, in turn, attracts an audience and unlocks additional stages.
