Casual games developer King.com will be releasing both Candy Crush Saga and Bubble Witch Saga in the Japanese and Korean markets, the company announced in a press release. The games will launch first on the Facebook platform, with iOS and Android versions expected to follow shortly after.

After years of Zynga sitting comfortably atop the daily active user (DAU) charts for Facebook games, King.com’s Candy Crush Saga has taken the lead, boasting over 9.7 million daily players. FarmVille 2,  in comparison, is currently in second place with 8.8 million DAUs.

If 2010 was the year that Facebook games hit everybody’s radar, and 2011 was the year where they tried to stretch their legs, 2012 was the year where they finally found their footing.  This was a year where Facebook games became deeper, longer, prettier, and on occasion, more daring in their direction and scope.  In a nutshell, it was a great year to be a Facebook gamer.

Hot off the heels of publishing Bubble Witch Saga and Candy Crush Saga on iOS, King.com has announced that both games are now available on Android. This marks the third platform the games are playable across, meaning players can fire them up on iOS, Android or Facebook, and continue playing them elsewhere with their save intact.

Talk about a great day for sagas! First it was announced that Disney intends to continue the Star Wars saga, and now we’ve received word that King.com is bringing Facebook sensation Candy Crush Saga over to iOS. Are you sick of the word “saga” yet? I sure am. Not!

Candy Crush Saga is a game developed by King.com that invites you to a wide variety of match-3 challenges. Gamezebo’s Candy Crush Saga strategy guide and walkthrough will provide you with a quick start guide, tips and tricks, hints and cheats to help you manage your match-making in Candy Crush Saga.

With releases like Bubble Witch Saga and Hoop de Loop Saga under their belt, King.com are quickly blurring the line between Facebook games and the sort of games we’d traditionally have thought of us as PC downloads. Candy Crush Saga continues this tradition by tackling the match-3 genre, and it does so splendidly.
