The trendy free-to-play mobile puzzle game, Candy Crush Saga, will soon receive a new limited-time Sonic the Hedgehog 2 event, thanks to a collaboration between King and Paramount Pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement comes just weeks before the highly anticipated release of Paramount Pictures’ Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie and boasts several features that should excite all Sonic fans, ranging from new Sonic-inspired boosters to themed background music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early reviews of the movie, starring film icons Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz, have been positive. Still, while fans eagerly await the movie’s release, they might want to check out the Candy Crush Saga event, kicking off from 31st March until 4th April.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the official press release, “players must collect Sonic Spin Dash Candies as they work their way through the levels on a quest to help Sonic and Tails recover the master emerald from Dr Robotnik, Knuckles and the Jelly Queen. As players collect candies to fuel Sonic’s energy and complete the movie-themed treasure hunt, they will unlock a variety of special treats and boosters that can be used in-game.”<\/span><\/p>\n

During the treasure hunt, players will come across plenty of iconic characters from the Sonic franchise. In addition, the Candy Crush Saga team have also been hard at work in bringing Sonic inspired music and sound effects to the upcoming in-game event. <\/span><\/p>\n
