Rovio closes Copenhagen studio following shut down of Sonic Blitz

Rovio closes Copenhagen studio following shut down of Sonic Blitz "We're still very proud of the game, very proud of what the team achieved, but it didn't work," says Rovio CEO and Sega West COO Rovio has closed its Copenhagen studio after cancelling its mobile title Sonic Blitz. However, approximately 20 employees were working on Sonic Blitz. Sega acquired Rovio for $776 million in 2023. Earlier this year, Sega reported a $200 million impairment on the acquisition cost after profitability "fell below the initial forecast." Sega reported challenges integrating Rovio's Beacon technology with its own mobile titles.
