Candy Crush Solitaire adds a sugary dusting of King\'s flagship franchise to the classic card game

Candy Crush Solitaire: A Sweet Twist on Classic Solitaire

King, the creators of the iconic Candy Crush Saga, are entering the solitaire arena with a new game, Candy Crush Solitaire, blending the classic card game with the familiar charm of their match-three franchise. Launching February 6th on iOS and Android, this game is likely inspired by the recent success of Balatro, a roguelike poker game that gained significant popularity over the holidays.

Expect a tripeaks solitaire experience infused with Candy Crush elements. Players will enjoy classic solitaire gameplay enhanced by power-ups, blockers, and a progression system reminiscent of the Candy Crush series.

Pre-registration is now open on iOS and Android. Early birds will receive exclusive in-game rewards including a special card back, 5,000 Coins, four undos, two fish cards, and three color bomb cards.

A Strategic Move? King's reliance on the Candy Crush brand is well-documented. Unlike some competitors, they haven't heavily invested in experimental titles. Candy Crush Solitaire might signal a strategic shift, acknowledging the need to explore new genres while leveraging their established audience. The success of Balatro likely played a role in this decision. Solitaire's enduring appeal and broader audience make it a potentially lucrative venture for King, aligning well with their existing player base.
