Bobby Kotick - Chief Executive Officer at Activision Blizzard - added: "Over the past ten years, 'Candy Crush Saga' has become a cultural phenomenon that brings joy every day to millions.

"None of this would be possible without our exceptional team and our dedicated players, who made this the iconic game it is today. I can’t wait to experience what the next decade of Candy Crush holds for the world.”
