Following the recent release of Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance on Apple Arcade, Ironhide Game Studio has unveiled an exciting new direction for the series. Kingdom Rush Battles, the franchise's first multiplayer installment, has begun its soft launch in select regions including the Philippines, Indonesia, Canada, and Uruguay.
