TagsWeekly News,
Neogames sees that, despite the challenges, Finland’s games industry is still alive and kicking. Our crew is actively taking part in Finnish Games Week (Oct 6–10), and we support the industry in many ways, including organising the 6th edition of Get Funded! on November 4. On the studio front, this week’s news includes The Last Caretaker heading into Early Access on November 6, Angry Birds making a return to mainland China through a partnership with Kingsoft Shiyou and Xiaomi, and Habbo Hotel: Origins preparing to land on Steam later this year.
