And if you’re not familiar with them, Moomin (or The Moomins) is the franchise created by famed Finnish comic artist Tove Jansson. These cute elephant…rat…things are a pop-culture sensation in Finland and have had comics, merchandise, films and yes, video games like Snuffkin: Melody of Moominvalley which released last year.

Rovio refocus?

We all know Rovio from games like ****** Birds, but you may not recall that the studio was purchased by ***** last year. It was a pretty major event for a company that’s traditionally been very insular and independent, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. They’ve already announced that Rovio will be working closely on translating ***** properties to mobile, so that may be one reason why Moomin: Puzzle & Design went on the chopping block.

For Moomin fans it’ll be a definite disappointment as this promising game goes the way of the Dodo. But we can at least be hopeful in the fact that Rovio are clearly refocusing elsewhere. A lot of good, or at least potentially good, games don’t often get the space they deserve to grow, so it’s a shame to see Moomin: Puzzle & Design drop off the face of the earth like this.

But even with the cessation of development on Moomin: Puzzle & Design this year is still stacked with upcoming releases. Want to keep up with all of them? Then check in on our list of the best upcoming mobile games of 2024.
