Namco and Rovio Entertainment team up to launch adventure golf sites
Rovio Entertainment Corp. and Namco UK Ltd. are delighted to announce a brand new venture that will see the development of a series of Angry Birds indoor adventure golf attractions across the UK.
Angry Birds fans are set to enjoy all the fun of adventure golf, combined with themed features and attractions based on the internationally popular entertainment franchise. Namco plan to open a minimum of five sites within the next three years. Namco is also currently in advanced negotiations for the first two locations, and is actively seeking further leasing opportunities in high footfall retail or leisure destinations.
Philip Millward, Commercial Director at Namco, commented:
“Everyone at Namco looks forward to opening these attractions, which captures the essence of fun and entertainment values of the Angry Birds theme and the Namco core philosophy of providing our customers with Dreams, Fun & Inspiration.”
Joe Lawson, Senior Vice President of Content Licensing at Rovio, commented:
“We’re thrilled to bring Angry Birds themed golfing experiences to the UK, and we’re excited to be doing it with our friends at Namco. These attractions are a great example of the global appeal of the Angry Birds brand for location based entertainment, which is an important component of our licensing and content roadmap, that is anchored by the much anticipated theatrical release of The Angry Birds Movie 2 in 2019”.
