King Launches 'Candy Crush Solitaire' with Exciting Features and Pre-Registration Rewards
January 11, 2025
King, the mobile game giant known for titles like 'Farm Heroes Saga,' officially announced the launch of 'Candy Crush Solitaire' on January 11, 2025, alongside a trailer released on YouTube.
Set to debut on February 6, 2025, 'Candy Crush Solitaire' follows the success of the indie game 'Balatro' and is designed to attract both card game enthusiasts and casual players.
The game will be free to download and aims to provide a relaxing gaming experience suitable for all ages.
Based on tripeaks solitaire, players will clear three peaks of cards while enjoying a strategic and dynamic gameplay experience.
King, a division of Microsoft's Activision Blizzard, boasts over 200 million monthly active users across its games, with development teams located in cities like Stockholm, London, and San Francisco.
The indie game 'Balatro,' which blends strategy and humor in a deck-building roguelike format, has contributed to the growing interest in innovative card games.
As players progress through levels, the gameplay will become increasingly challenging, maintaining the essence of the beloved Candy Crush series.
Pre-registration for 'Candy Crush Solitaire' is available on major platforms, offering exclusive in-game rewards such as a unique card back, coins, and special cards for early registrants.
Since July 2023, the game has been in testing in select countries, including Canada, Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, and the Netherlands.
Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, has previously emphasized that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard was primarily focused on King and the mobile gaming market.
The concept for 'Candy Crush Solitaire' was first introduced by King in 2024, with further details shared in a blog post published in November 2024.
Players can expect familiar power-ups from the Candy Crush universe, including jelly fish, lollipop hammer, color bomb, and UFO, enhancing the gameplay similar to match-three games.
