Popular casual match-three game Candy Crush Saga has joined forces with the Jonas Brothers, a Grammy-nominated music group, for the game’s Music Season.
As part of this collaboration, the Jonas Brothers will make a special appearance in the game’s Candy Kingdom, where players can engage with the ‘Candified’ versions of the band members and access exclusive music content that can be streamed within the game before it is released elsewhere.
Starting May 11th, Candy Crush Saga will exclusively offer key tracks from ‘The Album’ for 24 hours before any other platform. Players can stream the Jonas Brothers’ unreleased tracks ‘Summer Baby’ and ‘Sail Away’ until May 18th, along with exclusive video content of the band’s sold-out concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Jonas Brothers commented, “We’re suckers for a game of Candy Crush Saga, having spent years playing during downtime on set, and competing against each other while on the road. We cannot wait to invite fans into our favourite game to listen to our new music before it can be heard anywhere else. They’ll also see us turned into characters in the game! For us, that’s almost the most exciting part…”
Many exclusive events to enjoy
In addition, fans will get to hear a never-before-heard remix of Jonas Brothers’ popular track ‘Waffle House’ that incorporates the distinctive music and sounds of Candy Crush Saga. This remix will also be available exclusively within the game from May 11th.
Fernanda Romano, chief marketing officer at King, makers of the Candy Crush franchise, says, “The Candy Kingdom is completely starstruck, and we’re thrilled to welcome Kevin, Joe and Nick to the vibrant world of Candy Crush Saga.
“As we celebrate King turning 20 this year, and continue to drive the Candy Crush franchise forward, we’re excited to create a space for curated music experiences and exclusive content.”
During this period, players will tour the Candy Kingdom with Jonas Brothers in the Music Tour Bus, where they will take on a series of events and challenges as they collect guitar candies to win in-game rewards.
Players can check out the all-new exclusive content in Candy Crush Saga for a limited time during ‘Music Season’ this May. Candy Crush Saga is currently available to download and play free on iOS and Android.
