Candy Crush Saga adds 2,000th level to celebrate 1,000,000,000,000 games played

This is a pretty sweet milestone.

Developer King has released the 2,000th level for Candy Crush Saga, its hit, free-to-play puzzle game for mobile. Candy Crush Saga, which originally came out back in 2012, is one of the biggest hits ever in the $36 billion mobile business. It’s success elevated King to a position as one of the top mobile games companies, which resulted in its sale to Activision Blizzard for $5.9 billion. Few games are popular enough to justify having 2,000 levels to play through.

The 2000th level is available to anyone who has beaten the 1,999th stage, but it’s also playable to any that have at least hit level 10 as part of an in-game live event for the next seven days.

“We’re excited to launch the 2,000th level of Candy Crush Saga today”, said Sebastian Knutsson, chief creative officer at King, in a press release sent to GamesBeat. “This is an incredible milestone for us, as is reaching one trillion gameplays.
