It may not seem like it, but it’s been just over a year since Sega acquired Rovio in a deal worth €706 million.
Now a subsidiary of Sega’s Europe division, the Finnish-based Rovio has spent the past 12 months integrating into Sega and providing tools and support in expanding the Japanese firm’s capabilities on mobile. These efforts will culminate in the release of its battle royale title Sonic Rumble this winter.
GamesIndustry.biz caught up with Rovio’s vice president of strategy Timo Rahkonen at this year’s Gamescom, who discussed where the partnership stands a year after the acquisition and what the industry can expect from the two companies.
