(NYSE: KING), a leading interactive entertainment company for the
mobile world, today announced that Candy Crush Soda
Saga, the sister title to the pop-culture phenomenon
Candy Crush Saga, has launched worldwide on iOS and
Android platforms. Sodalicious!
This next iteration of the Candy Crush sensation presents
a delicious new gaming experience that returns players to the

and brimming with purple soda! Looking and tasting sweeter
than ever before, Candy Crush Soda Saga will quench

In Candy Crush Soda Saga, new character Kimmy

levels available at launch. Signature magical elements of
Candy Crush remain but gamers will experience fun soda
surprises around every corner. Candy Crush Soda
Saga presents five irresistible new game modes:
- Soda - Players are tasked to fill the
board with fizzy purple soda
- Soda Bears - Gamers must release the
floating bears in soda
- Frosting - Fight to crush the ice to
free the bears
- Honey - Release the bears stuck in the
honey
- Chocolate - Remove all the chocolate
from the board
Within the game there will also be two new exciting colour
combinations, challenging gamers to match 4 candies in a square to
receive a delicious Swedish Fish or match 7 candies to create the
remarkable Colouring Candy.
"We're excited to offer our players the chance to experience the
next installment in the franchise now that Candy Crush Soda
Saga is available on mobile devices," said Sebastian Knutsson, Chief Creative Officer at
King. "We continue to be astounded by the global success of
Candy Crush and the initial response to Candy Crush Soda
Saga, since it launched on Facebook last month, has been
positive. With the mobile launch, fans will be able to play
the game anywhere, anytime, and on any device and we hope they have
as much fun playing it as much as we have had making it."
Designed to be played alongside the original Candy Crush
Saga, this next installment introduces entertaining features
for players who love the gameplay and story of the first title, and
are looking for fun, fresh challenges. Candy Crush Soda Saga
features the same framework used in the original, where players
