In a significant move, Rovio Entertainment has announced the layoff of 36 staff members, primarily due to the underperformance of its mobile game, Angry Birds Dream Blast. Launched in 2018, this puzzle spin-off has not met the financial expectations set by the studio, prompting a restructuring aimed at enhancing game quality and better aligning with its parent company, Sega. The layoffs include senior staff who were integral to the development of Angry Birds Dream Blast.
