Valencia, Calif – July 15, 2021 – Roll into battle and multiplayer fun! Independent game studio WayForward is pleased to announce that the fourth and final post-launch update to Marble Knights, the sword-swinging fantasy game for up to four players, is now available exclusively on Apple Arcade.

Eight exciting party-style minigames for up to four players are also available, including:
- Bowling: Ride the balls and attempt to knock down all 100 pins! Go for the strike!
