will make its way to Apple Arcade on April 3. Not only is the title the franchise's first game in nearly a decade, but it's an Apple Arcade exclusive, too.

This time around, fans are tasked with helping the King grow his livestream follower count. As players advance and complete challenges, they can unlock new, dynamic stages.

Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve

A combination of RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, this game challenges players to create and manage their own amusement parks. It also boasts the classic graphical style of the best-selling PC game.

Enhanced for iPhone and iPad, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic+ also includes three expansion packs: Wacky Worlds, Time Twister, and Toolkit. This title is exclusive to iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
