The transaction is expected to be completed by September 2023. Sega will then take over the development of mobile games from Rovio. It also plans to use the Finnish company’s expertise in mobile games to create multiplatform titles from its rich library.
The mobile gaming market has particularly high potential in the rapidly growing global gaming market, and Sega’s long-term goal has been to accelerate expansion in this area. I am happy to announce such an agreement with Rovio, owner of Angry Birds. Haruki Satomi, President and CEO of Sega Sammy Holdings
The press release also mentions Sega’s plans to help expand the Rovio platform “beyond mobile gaming”; this could mean new Angry Birds games for game consoles, as well as new feature films and television series.
