Behind this new character in the Saga Map, there's a really lovely and emotional story.
It's very difficult to find the words right now, but let me share it with all of you below:
First of all, and as you showed us in the screenshot, this new character can be seen only with the latest and updated version of the game (with the new 10 rotational Saga Maps) and it appears in the episode that brings us up to Level 7000!
Who's this character?
Well, my dear Candy Crushers, please meet "Seb"!
Seb was a level designer here at King that worked with us for around 5 years and his contributions to this game were amazing, bringing to the game some many new levels throughout all that time.
Sadly, Seb passed away, which was very devastating to the team. Candy wouldn't be the same without him, so the team wanted to honor his memory and all his amazing contributions by paying a little tribute. Our amazing Art team put a lot of love and effort into that, and they also added other little but very special elements in this episode: for example, we are representing his love for cats and music, paying tribute to his home region and many other things he liked.
Once we had that, our Level Designers team wanted to dedicate the incredible in-game milestone of Level 7000 in Candy Crush Saga to him! We couldn't have agreed more to this idea!! So that's the reason why we can see him there. 🙂
This is our small homage to him.
On behalf of the entire Candy team and King, thank you very much, Seb!! ❤️

@Pounawea Wow! What a sad and at the same time an amazing story! May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏻 Thank you, Seb, for all your efforts regarding this game, and thank you Candy Crush Saga for honoring by implementing his character in the game. This way he will always be a part of it 🥰 Wow!
Thank you very much for sharing about Seb. What an honor to have such a lovely person in the game team! It was very sweet of Candy Crush team to cherish his memories this way, so that he can be here with all of us forever 🙏🏼. ❤️
@Pounawea , Seb's facial expression in this artwork shows of joy and excitement that must have transferred over to the game and to the people who worked with and around him. Rest in peace Seb, your work lives on in the game. Thank you
Thank you also @Pounawea , for sharing this with us. We have some really good people who pass thru our lives.
This morning I made a comment here, (before learning about Seb's emotional story).
So when I did, that story was not written, and for obvious reasons it was erased, therefore I want to say something:
The basis of all communication is respect, so if I made a mistake I apologize, because that kind of tribute to a member (and friend) of your team, becomes a part of you. So bravo and thank you.
For that I opened another discussion: open questions taken a look.
Thank you so much for sharing that touching story @Pounawea. Now I’ll always remember Seb when I see level 7000. A truly fitting tribute. 😊🐨💕
