The local team will support existing projects – Angry Birds Friends and Dream Blast. It will work “in tandem” with the head office located in Finland.
“Rovio Barcelona will focus on creating levels and operating,” said Matthieu Burleraux, senior director of Live Ops at the company. The new office will be directly subordinate to him.
It is not reported exactly how many people are planning to hire at Rovio in Barcelona. So far, there is only a list of open vacancies for such positions as a leading level designer, an artist and an economy designer.
Speaking about the reasons for the launch of the studio in Barcelona, Rovio states that today this city is a busy hub for the development of mobile games.
