From King:
Candy Crush Saga® is marking 25 years of XBOX® by giving eight iconic game worlds a playful Candy twist. Launching today and running through December 6, Game On Season brings Halo™, Fallout, Sea of Thieves, Forza, DOOM™, Banjo-Kazooie, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro into Candy Crush Saga through a new in-game pin collection and six familiar pieces of game music reimagined in unmistakable Candy style.
Over four weeks, millions of mobile players can collect pins inspired by those worlds, earn exclusive rewards to celebrate XBOX’s 25th celebration and compete in an arcade-themed Leagues event. Together, the experiences give players a playful new way to reconnect with some of gaming’s most recognizable characters and worlds.
Collect the Pins
At the heart of Game On Season is an XBOX 25 pin collection featuring characters and moments from all eight franchises like the Master Chief’s helmet, Cacodemon, Dr. Neo Cortex and more. Players earn pins as they crush through levels and build their collection across the season.
The collection doesn't stay on screen. We’ve turned some of the virtual pins into physical pins and VIP players in the US can enter a contest at candycrush.com for a chance to win one of 1,000 limited-edition pin packs.
Classic Themes, Candyfied
On the audio front, once again Candy Crush Saga takes players on an audio journey. Six franchises from across the XBOX family of studios from Halo, Fallout, Sea of Thieves, Forza, DOOM and Banjo-Kazooie have been "Candyfied" and woven into Candy Crush Saga gameplay. Players will revel as they recognize familiar themes getting delicious audio twists while they match their way through the Game On Season. What’s even more fun is if you miss a track or want to hear it again, they are also available now across streaming platforms and participating studio channels including Spotify.
"Over 25 years XBOX has given players some of the most iconic franchises in entertainment," said Paula Ingvar, General Manager of Candy Crush. "Game On Season lets players celebrate those memories inside the game they love playing every day. Hearing the Halo theme played by an orchestra, a choir and an accordion in Candy Crush still makes our team smile."
