Developer Rovio is flush with cash having made Angry Birds into a worldwide phenomenon and they’ve used some of that to acquire Kombo. The Helsinki-based animation studio will probably create Angry Birds animated features like they have in the past, though that wasn’t explicitly announced.
“We have had a long and fruitful relationship with Kombo in the past,” said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. “This acquisition is an important step in the execution of our media strategy. The attitude, creativity and quality of Kombo’s work is simply fantastic, and we look forward to delighting our fans with more Kombo animations.”
