Rovio s flagship
Angry Birds franchise appears to be hovering mid-air rather than soaring higher and higher, but Rovio leadership isn t concerned.
For the quarter ending March 31, 2021, Rovio €25.2 million (~$30.5 million) in gross bookings for
Angry Birds 2, its largest game, which is up 1 percent year-over-year.
Its second-largest game,
Angry Birds Dream Blast, meanwhile slid downward somewhat between 2020 and 2021.
Dream Blast reported €15.4 million in gross bookings, down 5 percent, due to, in Rovio s words, a much lower level of user acquisition efforts.
However
Angry Birds Friends reported gross bookings of €8.1 million, up 44 percent year-over-year,
Friends best quarter since late 2018. Looking at Rovio s video game business as a whole, game revenue is up 3.4 percent year-over-year to 64.9 million.
