Candy Crush Saga releases its 2000th level to celebrate its trillionth gameplay
I always thought it was a made-up number
Unless you've been trapped in a box for four years there's little chance you won't have heard of the dentist's nightmare, Candy Crush. Today King has announced that Candy Crush Saga is launching its 2000th level worldwide.
Of course, these things don't usually happen without reason and King's one is a doozy. Having sat atop the mobile charts, with an appropriate studio name, really, Candy Crush Saga has just reached one trillion gameplays. No, seriously.
The special 2000th level will not only be available to those determined few who have passed level 1999, but will also be accessible to all players above level 10 as an in-game live event.
That's one hell of a feat after launching the game in April 2012. King has also been kind enough to share some facts with us so we'll leave you with that; some of them are utterly mind-blowing.
