King reveals closure of five Facebook apps, including Hoop de Loop and Bubble 'Sagas'

Candy Crush Saga developer King (formerly King.com) has quietly revealed the closure of some of its older, less successful Facebook games. The move will see Bubble Saga, Hoop de Loop Saga, Miner Speed and Puzzle Saga all close on September 10, but the company’s most popular ‘Saga’ games won’t be affected. This closure also affects King’s test project King Gold Games, a Facebook hub for events and new game discovery.

Both Bubble Saga and Hoop de Loop Saga still have over 1 million monthly active players, according to our app tracking service AppData, but they have experienced steady declines in their player bases over the past month.
