Candy Crush Saga, which we all became addicted to and stopped playing due to the King embargo on Facebook for a while, but which our aunts still continue to play with great loyalty, is celebrating its 15 thousandth episode.
In addition to its 15 thousandth episode, the game has generated a total of 20 billion dollars in revenue since its first release.
As you know, King is part of Activision-Blizzard, which was acquired by Microsoft. The company has a very successful portfolio of mobile games. We can see this best from Candy Crush Saga.
As we said, the game is still played by hundreds of thousands and even millions of people. Well, of course, now that all the chapters have been completed, people are waiting for new chapters. Candy Crush Saga, which had only 2,000 episodes in 2016, released its 15,000 episode this month.
Microsoft is playing strategically: They will use Ubisoft for Activision’s case!
In a surprisingly published blog post, Microsoft mentioned that Activision Blizzard cloud gaming rights will be sold to Ubisoft.
In addition, King announced that they have generated $20 billion in revenue in 11 years, since they launched Candy Crush Saga in 2012. Additionally, the game has been downloaded 5 billion times. Even now, the game ranks 33rd in Türkiye’s Google Play Store.
The company continues to add success to its success. King’s games have 238 million monthly active users as of the second quarter of 2023. The mobile game portfolio can gather players of all ages on a single platform to play games.
Headquartered in London, England and Stockholm, Sweden, with offices around the world, King’s games such as Candy Crush Saga, Candy Crush Soda Saga and Farm Heroes Saga continue to fascinate audiences around the world.
One of the big reasons why Microsoft wanted to buy Activision-Blizzard was King. Because the Silicon Valley giant wants to take control of the mobile game industry.
