Serpent has also been added as a new Arcade cabinet.

Five Arcade Cabinets

The complete Arcade lineup is now:

• Pixel Sweep
• Monster Roamer: Mossvale
• Magic Puzzle Ball
• Ball Ghost
• Serpent

The Arcade interface has been updated to support the larger collection across desktop, tablet and mobile layouts.

Each cabinet retains its own controls, presentation and gameplay identity.

Save Integration

Ball Ghost and Serpent now use the same local Arcade integration philosophy as the existing games.

Both games maintain their own local progression while also mirroring their important statistics into the main Knights of Crystalis save.

This means their progress participates in:

• normal game saves
• save export
• save import
• session restoration
• profile recovery

If local Arcade data is missing but valid mirrored data exists in the main save, the cabinet can restore its progression.

Profile Reset Support

The Complete Profile Reset system has also been expanded.

Resetting a Knights of Crystalis profile now clears the local data belonging to:

• Ball Ghost
• Serpent

alongside the previously supported Arcade storage.

This prevents old cabinet progression from silently returning after a complete account reset.

Mobile & Local Multiplayer

Both new games were selected to strengthen the local Arcade experience.

Ball Ghost provides cooperative play.

Serpent provides competitive local Versus play.

Both retain touchscreen support, making the expanded Arcade usable on mobile devices without requiring an external controller.

Internal Documentation Updates

The game's internal Arcade descriptions have been updated from three cabinets to five.

An older internal campaign reference still describing the game as having 15 chapters has also been corrected to the current:

16 Chapters
