Since TheNewTens, Rovio has been branching out beyond mobile games, starting with the development of ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie'' in 2011, coinciding with the company swapping out the "Mobile" suffix of its name for "Entertainment". ''The Angry Birds Movie'' released in 2016 and grossed $352.3 million worldwide, saving a struggling Rovio from a second bankruptcy. [[WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie2 A sequel]] released in 2019, making $152.8 million worldwide and getting improved reviews. In 2013, Rovio released its first animated series, ''WesternAnimation/AngryBirdsToons'' and began a streaming channel, [=ToonsTV=], which was active from 2013 to 2017. During its brief life, [=ToonsTV=] also hosted ''WesternAnimation/AngryBirdsStella'', ''WesternAnimation/PiggyTales'' and ''WesternAnimation/AngryBirdsBlues'', as well as third-party content such as ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Morph}}'' and ''Chakra: The Invincible''. The first long-form ''Angry Birds'' animation, ''WesternAnimation/AngryBirdsSummerMadness'', premiered on Creator/{{Netflix}} in 2022.

The company is currently owned by Creator/{{Sega}}, with the deal closed on August 18, 2023.

The company is best known for creating the ''Franchise/AngryBirds'' franchise, though it has other titles to its name such as ''Small Town Murders'', ''Love Rocks Starring Music/{{Shakira}}'' and ''Nibblers''.

Rovio traces its origins to the Finnish demoscene, where it was founded as Relude in 2003 by the aforementioned three students during a mobile game development competition at the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_demo_party Assembly demo party]]. The trio won with their title ''King of the Cabbage World'', which was sold to Sumea and renamed ''Mole War''. In 2005 the company received its first angel investor and changed its name to Rovio Mobile ("rovio" meaning "bonfire" or "pyre" in Finnish). Rovio had made 51 games and was nearing bankruptcy by the time their 52nd title, ''Angry Birds'', became a SleeperHit following its release in 2009 and reversed the company's fortunes.
