Candy Crush Saga has announced a partnership with one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, Barbie. On July 13th, ahead of the movie hitting cinemas on July 21st, Candy Crush Saga will launch in-game Barbie experiences that feature exclusive content accessible only to Candy Crush Saga players.
Barbie fans and Candy Crush Saga players will have in-app access to the exclusive featurette, A Candy Exclusive: We Are Barbie, in which the film’s director, producers and talent discuss the different personalities and Barbies that will be seen throughout the movie. Barbie fans and Candy Crush players alike will also embark on a fantastical road trip with Barbie, Tiffi and other iconic Candy Crush Saga friends. Players can join the candified versions of talent from the film, including Margot Robbie as Barbie, as she begins her journey to the Real World through the Candy Kingdom. On their journey, players will embark on Barbie Quests during the Winding Road Tour and collect limited-edition purple ‘B’ candies to win rewards.
Todd Green, General Manager for Candy Crush Saga, commented: “Barbie is one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer, and this collaboration is a match made in heaven. We’re always looking to provide our players with unique and exclusive in-game experiences that reflect the best of pop culture and bring fun to their daily lives. We hope that Barbie’s visit to Candy Kingdom brings joy to our players this Summer.”
Cameron Curtis, Executive Vice President Global Digital Marketing, Warner Bros Pictures, added: “Bringing Barbie into the Candy Crush Kingdom has provided us with a unique way to blend nostalgia with modern gameplay. We are proud to tell the story of this iconic, beloved character in the film and we feel that Candy Crush is an amazing platform to provide people with ways to interact with Barbie on their small screen and then see her come to life on the big screen in theatres.”
Barbie’s journey to the Candy Kingdom will be available for Candy Crush players from July 13th – 23rd as part of Candy Crush Saga’s Nostalgia Season, which runs July 3rd – August 31st, and features a full summer of road trips that allow Candy Crush Saga players new experiences as Tiffi drives around the Kingdom.
