Weekly News 6/26

This week’s news from the Finnish Game Industry: The Finnish Game Museum celebrates its 9th anniversary on 7 February with a virtual event on Twitch. Neogames Finland’s Suvi Latva and KooPee Hiltunen offer a slightly more serious, but not purely depressive, look at the current state of the Finnish Game Industry at Pocket Gamer Biz. On the studio front, Nitro Games wraps up its project with Business Finland, receiving a final funding instalment of €340,000, while Bitmagic unveils an AI-created take on the classic Civilization formula and Cities: Skylines 2 sees its UI undergo an “extreme makeover” as Iceflake steps in as the new developer. Talking about making games; Finnish Game Jam, organised last weekend across Finland, once again showed the strength of the grassroots scene as jammers created 259 games during Global Game Jam 2026 in just about 48 hours. Looking forward; Road to Vostok enters Early Access on 7 April, and Ritual Party by Hologram Monster gets its Early Access release date for 17 February.
