King has launched Candy Crush Solitaire around the world as the latest mobile game that carries the Candy Crush brand.

It’s been a while since King launched a game. In fact, I don’t know the answer to that, but it’s been years. The company is a division of Activision Blizzard, which is a division of Microsoft. King has a couple thousand or so developers and it has 200 million players. But its big focus has been on churning out more live services content for Candy Crush Saga.
