Rovio: Soft launch pipeline strengthened with ‘Supernatural City’ - Nordea

Rovio announced yesterday that it has soft launched a new game, a narrative-driven puzzle game called Supernatural City. This extends the number of games in the soft launch phase to four for Rovio, including Darkfire Heroes that will see a global launch in the upcoming weeks.

The game will be tested and further developed during the soft launch phase and will progress to global launch if certain targets are met to prove the commercial potential. A typical soft launch period for Rovio’s puzzle games is six months or more, implying that the potential publication date for Supernatural City could be in late 2021 or early 2022.

Supernatural City positions at the same genre as Small Town Murders, which was published in June 2020 and reached an annual gross bookings run-rate of EUR 15m in Q4 2020. It is however a completely new game with a different storyline and monetisation mechanics.

The strengthened game pipeline provides potential triggers for the latter half of 2021 besides potential acquisitions of new gaming studios.
