NEW
YORK, March 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- BIGGER. BOLDER.
SWEETER. King's Candy Crush All Stars is back for its fifth
consecutive year, and the tournament is taking the competition to
legendary heights. The stakes? A place to compete in the live final
and a chance to win a monumental $1M
prize pool. Think you've got what it takes to claim the crown? It's
time to put your skills to the test and crush the competition!
Kicking off on March 20, 2025,
Candy Crush All Stars 2025 is open to players around the world,
from newcomers to seasoned Crushers. The global tournament builds
on last year's epic showdown, where more than 15 million players
competed for victory. This year, Crushers around the world are
invited to join the action in a thrilling battle of skill,
strategy, and sweet triumph. The two-month, free-to-enter
competition features qualifiers, knockout rounds, and second-chance
opportunities – all leading up to a live final in Los Angeles, where in-game winners will
compete for the Candy Crush All Stars title. Only the best will
make it to the ultimate showdown for a chance to claim their share
of the $1M prize pool – matching the
largest in Candy Crush history!
Last year alone, a staggering 15 million players joined the
battle (that's more than the populations of New York City, Los
Angeles, and Chicago
combined!) – swiping their way through 2.2 billion levels and
collecting an astonishing 11.4 trillion All Stars Candies. 2024's
reigning champion, Ben, rose to the top, outplaying the competition
to claim the crown in a thrilling live final. Now, in 2025, the
competition is fiercer than ever. Who will rise to the challenge
and etch their name in Candy Crush history?
This year, Candy Crush is cranking up the nostalgia with Smash
Mouth's iconic hit, 'All Star' – a song that's been hyping up
champions for decades. "This legendary track sets the perfect tone
for the campaign," says Luken
Aragon, VP of Marketing for Candy Crush Saga, King. "In
a tournament where skill meets fun, and anyone can go from casual
Crusher to world champion, we're proudly reminding our community
that every player can be an All Star."
Think you have what it takes to be an All Star? Get your game
on, press play! The action kicks off with qualifiers running until
March 27th, giving all players the
chance to compete. This will be followed by knockout rounds,
leading up to the high-stakes live final event where the top 10
in-game winners will compete for their share of the $1M prize pool and the coveted Candy Crush All
Stars title.
