Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ are coming to Apple Arcade

Two new puzzlers, endless ways to play — Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ come to Apple Arcade on September 3.

Apple has announced that on September 3, Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ are coming to Apple Arcade.

The former challenges players to slot blocks onto a grid to clear rows and columns, and chase that perfect combo. On Arcade, players can enjoy the same gameplay free of ads.

Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ invites players to piece together nature-inspired artwork at their own pace, unlocking stories about wildlife and conservation along the way. Apple says that accessibility features make it as welcoming as it is beautiful, proof that a puzzle game can deliver both a fun challenge and a moment of calm.

Later this month, updates are coming to other games. On August 12, puffies. adds 28 new packs that include two collections with artwork for Oden Tomodachi and The Knights. Starting on August 20, Simon’s Cat – Blast Time unleashes 200 new levels, rolling out 50 a week for a month of fresh challenges. And on August 26, stitch. celebrates a milestone — 800 unique hoops — with a special commemorative hoop and achievement.
