Sega secures Rovio, creator of Angry Birds, in a €706M deal, aiming to reignite mobile gaming dominance with diverse IPs and strategic synergy.

Sega’s hoping the purchase will give them a stronger foothold in the mobile space, despite the golden days of ‘Angry Birds’ fandom passing almost 15 years ago.
