Rovio Stars is a new mobile game publishing initiative announced by Rovio Entertainment. New games from talented developers will be published under this initiative. Two have already been announced.

Rovio Entertainment already gave us several entertaining mobile games: Angry Birds, the numerous Angry Birds variations (Seasons, Rio, Space, Star Wars, Friends), Bad Piggies, Amazing Alex, The Croods. The company will soon introduce us to even more new games via the Rovio Stars new mobile game publishing initiative. Games developed by talented developers will be published by Rovio as part of Rovio Stars, the company’s first foray into including third party titles in its game line-up.

“Rovio Entertainment has positioned itself as one of the powerhouses of mobile entertainment, so moving into publishing is a logical step for us at this point”, said Rovio’s EVP of Games Jami Laes. “We want to help our fans find quality entertainment among the more than 100,000 games available in app stores. That’s where Rovio Stars comes in.”

“In the course of our work, we run into so many fantastic upcoming titles -- games with memorable characters and entertaining gameplay that are also just really fun to play!” said Kalle Kaivola, Director of Development. “These are the sorts of titles we’re interested in. We want to help the developers to give these games that last coat of polish, publish the games and find their audience. We’re focusing on a small, select number of games, and each Rovio Stars launch will be an event of its own.”

Two games have already been announced and will be published as part of the Rovio Stars Initiative: Tiny Thief and Ice Breaker.


A puzzle-solving, hidden-objects adventure game set in a medieval fantasy world full of surprises.
