SEGA et Rovio annoncent un événement crossover

SEGA et Rovio annoncent aujourd'hui un nouvel événement crossover mobile. Il débute dès à présent et se conclut le jeudi 21 mars 2024.

"Today, SEGA® and Rovio™ announced a groundbreaking crossover event that brings together two iconic gaming worlds – Sonic the Hedgehog™ and Angry Birds™. Starting today until March 21st, 2024, players can explore the franchise crossover in five mobile games, including Angry Birds 2™, Angry Birds Dream Blast™, Angry Birds Friends™, Sonic Forces™, and Sonic Dash™ on the App Store and Google Play.

PORTALS HAVE OPENED BETWEEN THE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG AND ANGRY BIRDS WORLDS

When a mischievous plan to steal the Angry Birds' eggs goes awry, a portal is created that connects the worlds of Sonic the Hedgehog™ and the Angry Birds. To defeat Dr. Eggman, his Badniks, and the mischievous pigs, Red, Sonic, and all of their friends must embark on epic adventures in both worlds, creating unique gaming experiences across all five titles. New playable characters, collectables, limited-time events, and exclusive rewards will be available throughout the week.

SEGA & ROVIO TOGETHER

This event marks the first brand crossover since Rovio joined the SEGA family last year, which aims to bring together two fanbases that span the globe. Angry Birds and Sonic the Hedgehog have a strong global presence in the mobile landscape, with millions playing their games daily. The crossover presents an opportunity to introduce new players to each franchise while also giving returning players a truly one-of-a-kind event.

"Through this crossover with Rovio, we wanted to create something special for fans of both Sonic the Hedgehog and Angry Birds," explained Mike Evans, Senior Vice President of Mobile and Games as a Service Publishing at Sega of America. "This event provides players with the memorable experience of seeing iconic characters like Sonic and Red playable in the same universe."

TRANSFORMING GAMING THROUGH TRANSMEDIA

Transmedia is a core strategy for Rovio and a vision shared by the parent company, SEGA. Both companies have iconic intellectual properties with roots in gaming, seeing success in everything from licensed products to feature films. This crossover exemplifies the strength and versatility of Sonic and Angry Birds, extending beyond gaming to offer a valuable experience for players and fans of both IPs.

Rovio's VP of Transmedia, Hanna Valkeapää-Nokkala, comments, "We are lucky to be a part of a company that values brands, being home to some of the most memorable gaming IPs ever. We are excited to unite Sonic and Angry Birds fans in this event and for what the future holds for us as a part of SEGA."

"Throughout the years, Sonic the Hedgehog and Angry Birds have exemplified the expansive reach of video games into diverse media landscapes," expressed Shuji Utsumi, CEO of Sega of America and Co-COO of SEGA CORPORATION. "With our inaugural crossover collaboration with Rovio, we aspire to unite devoted fans from both IPs while welcoming fresh audiences into the fold."
