Soda Saga is the first sequel to King’s Candy Crush Saga, which released for mobile in 2012. Since Soda Saga, the franchise has had two more sequels: 2015’s Candy Crush Jelly Saga, and 2018’s Candy Crush Friends Saga. The series helped make King so big that Activision Blizzard bought the company in 2016 for $5.9 billion.
