The new activity will function hogs which hit returning at the wildlife who assaulted them with slingshots in Angry Birds.
A hit on app shops would provide the Finnish organization a increase as it looks to a possible currency markets flotation next season. Some experts put its industry value at between $6 billion dollars and $9 billion dollars, nearly on a par with another top Finnish technical name, mobile phone manufacturer Htc Oyj .
Rovio was established in 2003 and became a international trend after it released Angry Birds for Apple company Inc's iPhone in delayed 2009.
The highly-addictive activity assisted Rovio's revenue leap 10-fold to $100 thousand last season, a portion of the 38.7 billion dollars dollars which Htc lined up.
It has stayed at the top of game playing maps, with more than a billion dollars downloading, and had 200 thousand per month customers at the end of 2011. That analyzes for example with the 240 thousand drawn by promotions from U.S-based Facebook Inc , such as the Facebook or myspace -based Mafia wars.
But there are symptoms Rovio is dropping its strength.
Amazing Alex, the first non-Angry Birds activity in more than two decades from Rovio, hit No. 1 on obtain maps in September but has since declined to outside the top 50, while Angry Birds Area has decreased quick from the top-grossing details.
"Rovio needs a big hit right now. Over previous times two several weeks, Rovio's revenue-generation capability has instantly lowered poorly," said specialist Tero Kuittinen from Finnish cellular statistics company Alekstra.

"Rovio needs to re-establish its popularity for developing strikes with feet (staying power)," Kuittinen said.
"There is no question that the pig activity will hit variety 1 at release. But it has to remain in top ten for six several weeks to remove the questions that the quick reduce of Awesome Alex has designed."
