Rovio has another studio in its lineup now. Rovio announced today that it has bought Futuremark Games Studio, which is the gaming unit of Futuremark, the benchmark software company. They develop for multiple different platforms and are Rovio's second purchase in less than a year. The main focus of Rovio has been Angry Birds, which continues to be successful, but they are trying to expand beyond.

They are an incredibly talented and experienced team, and we are thrilled to have them on board," Mikael Hed, Rovio Entertainment's CEO, said in a statement. "Rovio's success is founded on the excellence of our team, and Futuremark Games Studio is going to be a superb addition." Hopefully, with some fresh developers, we can expect some new game lines.
