Although those from Rovio have announced that they have purchased the game Amazing Alex and that they are going to remake it and launch it in the App Store, that's it for now attention part of the company is directed to another project. This is a collaboration between Rovio and the Finnish Formula 1 driver Heikki Kovalainen, and the final result will be Angry Birds Heikki, a new title from the famous game series, but a title that would only be available on the web. The Rovio company made a website for the new title, and there we have a Formula 1 pilot's helmet that was specially designed to include the character of the famous game, but how Angry Birds Heikki will be built, only those at Rovio know.
March 15, 2012 — Espoo, Finland — Rovio Entertainment announced today their merchandising and webgame partnership with Finnish Formula 1 star Heikki Kovalainen. Kovalainen will also be sporting a brand new co-branded Angry Birds helmet, which will debut at this weekend's inaugural Formula 1 race in Melbourne, Australia. "This is a great partnership on many levels," said Heikki Kovalainen. "It's the first time that I've partnered with a gaming company, and it fits with my larger focus on partnering with unique brands. As a Finn, I'm also happy to be backing a Finnish company on a global platform. Most importantly, I'm a big Angry Birds fan!" "We're so excited to be working with Heikki on this, the first partnership of its kind in F1," said Harri Koponen, EVP Consumer Products at Rovio Entertainment. "The helmet looks amazing, and we think people are really going to enjoy the webgame and merchandise."
Angry Birds Space proved to be extremely interesting and I think that an Angry Birds racing game could be at least as interesting, but only if it brings new elements, just like its "brother" developed in collaboration with NASA.
