Finnish gaming giant Rovio has announced a new spin-off of their popular Angry Birds series, basing the new game on the female character 'Stella.'
Stella was a character in the Angry Birds Go! and Angry Birds Seasons games, but will now be a star of her own sub-brand to be used for games, books, TV shows, and toys.
"Angry Birds Stella is breaking the mould by introducing strong, passionate characters who really stand for something, while adding plenty of action and reality into the mix," said Rovio's chief executive Mikael Hed.
