Angry Birds maker Rovio will buy hypercasual studio Ruby Games

Angry Birds maker Rovio Entertainment has agreed to acquire hypercasual game studio Ruby Games, a Turkish studio that’s the creator of the hit game Hunter Assassin.

The move reflects one of the hot trends in mobile games as players focus on titles that don’t require a huge attention span, and it’s another big endorsement for Turkey’s mobile gaming ecosystem. Rovio is also joining in on an unprecedented acquisition spree across the game industry that saw $50.2 billion invested in games in the first half of 2021.
