After a bit of confusion in March as to whether it would ever make it to Windows Phone, Nokia and Rovio today confirmed that Angry Birds Space is on its way. Rovio is building a “dedicated design and development team that will create games for Nokia Lumia smartphones and the wider Windows Phone ecosystem.” This is a clear indication that Angry Birds Space will not be the last Rovio game to make its way to Windows Phone devices.
“Nokia is one of our longest-standing partners, and Windows Phone and Lumia are of strategic importance to Rovio. We are very committed to bring our games to Lumia devices, and are looking forward to delighting our fans on the Windows Phone platform,” said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio.
No specific timelines were given but Rovio is looking at making it happen “as soon as possible.”
Nokia and Rovio are also planning new “consumer products and content” exclusively for Nokia Lumia smartphones. It’s not clear what these could be yet.
