TagsWeekly News,
This week’s news from the Finnish Game Industry is big: Supercell reported strong results, with operating profit before depreciation and amortisation rising six per cent to €932 million last year and contributing €220 million to the Finnish economy. Remedy Entertainment’s revenues continue to grow in 2025, reaching €59.5m, and the company has appointed former EA executive Jean-Charles Gaudechon as its new CEO. Neogames is compiling the annual list of commercial games first released globally in 2025 by Finnish developers and invites the community to help complete or correct it. On the studio front, The Last Care Taker gets excellent feedback and releases a trailer for The Final Frontier Update 2, 10tons released new videos of its upcoming title Dysplaced, Cornfox Brothers brings Oceanhorn 3: Legend of the Shadow Sea to Apple Arcade on 5 March, and a new gameplay trailer for Control Resonant showcases what may be Remedy’s most ambitious project to date. The event calendar remains active as Expa organises Internships & Employment Day 2026, LEADERBOARD 2.0 by Tampere Game Hub follows soon after, and the Nordic Game Conference 2026 calls for game executives. Students are reminded to apply for the Bit1 competition before 22 February. And finally, Finnish game jammers created 259 games across the country during Global Game Jam 2026 in just about 48 hours.
