Rovio's most popular game, Angry Birds 2, saw a 15 percent increase in revenue on the previous quarter to 28.8 million euros, up nine percent year- on-year, as the pandemic confined millions of people around the world to their homes in spring. "The overall impact of Covid-19, which was visible in a higher level of downloads, daily active users and player engagement, peaked late April," CEO Kati Levoranta said in a statement, adding that these levels started returning to normal from May onwards.
