Rovio celebrates the Year of the Goat with specials throughout game portfolio

Rovio is once again celebrating the Chinese New Year with a variety of new additions to several of their game titles. Just in China, Angry Birds has seen close to a half billion downloads, so it should be no surprise that Rovio wants to join in celebrating the Year of the Goat. According to Rovio’s SVP and COO of Games, David Byrne,

“Rovio has been a great fan of Chinese New Year since 2012 when we developed a Year of the Dragon update for Angry Birds Seasons. We enjoy seeing fans around the world partake of a unique celebration that has its origins in China.”

Some of the titles impacted by the goat include Angry Birds GO! which gets a new Goat Kart and Angry Birds Epic in which players can enjoy a special player vs player Chinese Year event. From February 17 – 28, Rovio’s Plunder Pirates game is getting some Chinese Pirate ships and legendary pirate “Ching Shih” is present as well. Meanwhile, Angry Birds Stella has a new Chinese New Year themed level that users can enjoy. Rovio also says their new game Jolly Jam pays homage to the Year of the Goat.
