The Finnish studio has signed a long-term partnership with Moomin Characters and Gutsy Animation that will give it the rights to create Moomin titles for “any platform” and the exclusive rights to develop mobile games based on the popular multi-media franchise.
Angry Birds maker Rovio has secured the rights to develop and publish games based on the Moomin franchise.
Rovio explained the Moomin franchise, which focuses on a family of rotund hippo-like creatures with endearingly large snouts, will help diversify its portfolio.
“This partnership will diversify our IP portfolio, which is a key step in our consistent growth strategy,” said Rovio chief exec Alex Pelletier-Normand.
