Rovio to launch new game after 'Angry Birds' success

Rovio Mobile, the Finnish software developer that brought the world the popular mobile game Angry Birds, said Wednesday it wanted to develop an animated series based on the game.

Finnish game developer Rovio, which shot to pop culture stardom with the mobile game Angry Birds, launched Thursday a space-age sequel developed with the help of NASA.

Rovio, the Finnish software company that unleashed the Angry Birds game on millions of mobile phone users, said Thursday it had raised a 42-million-dollar (30.4-million-euro) investment.

Rovio's "Angry Birds" is landing on Chrome in the first version of the addictively popular smartphone and tablet game tailored for play on a computer Web browser.

The Angry Birds are set fly from the virtual into the real world next year as the cartoonish birds from the popular smartphone game get their own theme parks, a playground company said Thursday.

Look out Nokia, Angry Birds are plotting to knock you off your perch as Finland's top company.
