King has also confirmed its plans for the next decade. It wants to push all the boundaries and continue bringing more levels and events for the players. It will develop “exciting new adventures and experiences for its dedicated community of gamers.” To commemorate the massive milestone and the anniversary, the devs will soon be releasing the Level 15,000, defining it as a “landmark moment.”

Candy Crush Saga is among the most influential games of the last decade, looming over giant releases on all platforms despite having such a simple premise. Its success is projected to rise for years to come as King continues to innovate and bring new content.
