KKI Faeria will be released on smartphones, the creator of Stockholm Rovio is quitting, and a trailer for a retro platformer in the cyberpunk style of Huntdown has appeared on the web.
1. The other day, KKI Faeria – a game like Heartstone – appeared on Steam Early Access in the PC and Mac versions. Now it has become known that the title will be released on iOS and Android. The timing is not yet called. Let’s add that Faeria has been in development since 2013. Even the beta version of the project has already managed to collect positive reviews and a good audience.
2. Oskar Burman, the general manager of the Stockholm branch of Rovio, resigns from his post. The reason, we assume, is some new interesting project. Berman, with whose participation Angry Birds 2 was launched, said: “I’m leaving Rovio, but I can’t tell you about the new stage of my journey yet. Anyway, the last 4 years, when I built Rovio Stockholm from scratch, were great.” Berman’s place as head will be taken by Patrick Lui, who was previously the creative director of the studio.
I’ve resigned from Rovio – but can’t speak yet of the next step in my journey. @pottan will be stepping in as acting-GM for the studio.

3. Вышел тизер олдскульного платформера Huntdown. Нам он напомнил древнюю игрушку Contra, но только в киберпанковом сеттинге. Точной даты релиза пока нет. Известно, что игра появится в этом году.
