With its stock still struggling, King announces its first mobile game since going public

King is looking to a sequel and the good witches of the West to help cure its over-reliance on Candy Crush Saga.

The mobile- and social-game publisher is working on Bubble Witch Saga 2, and it is coming to Facebook and mobile. The physics puzzler sequel will once again have players firing colored bubbles to clear a play field. When three or more like-colored bubbles touch, they will burst and rack up points. It’s due out “soon” for iOS, Android, and the Facebook social network. The developer is promising improved gameplay, more levels, and better-looking visuals compared to the original. King has previously released followups to its games (Candy Crush Saga is an upgraded version of the original Candy Crush, for instance), but Bubble Witch Saga 2 is the first real sequel to one of its big properties.
