Over the past several years, King has killed several games, including 2021’s runner Crash Bandicoot: On the Run. “We’ve proven to ourselves and to the industry that it is possible to reignite games that are years old and keep them relevant for a decade or longer, and break records even a decade in,” King president Tjodolf Sommestad told Reuters.Īlthough the studio continues to put a lot of effort into developing new titles, the Candy Crush IP remains its core, ever-evolving, and top-grossing product. Sommestad noted that “the bar is very high and it takes a lot to launch a new game nowadays,” adding that “Candy Crush took us a few months to build but we added 10 years of development after that.” The game has also generated 5 billion downloads in more than 11 years. So this includes versions across all platforms, such as Facebook, iOS, Android, and Windows. In an interview with Reuters, King announced that Candy Crush Saga had reached $20 billion in revenue since April 2012.
So this includes not only the original Candy Crush Saga, but also other titles in the series, such as Candy Crush Jelly Saga, Candy Crush Friends Saga, and Candy Crush Soda Saga. UPDATE (September 28): King eventually announced the new milestone o n its official website, saying that Candy Crush Saga franchise surpassed $20 billion in lifetime revenue.
