Rovio: Epic was originally a German fantasy role-playing game

At White Nights 2014, Anastasios Katopodis, Rovio's producer, revealed an interesting fact: initially, Angry Birds: Epic was a third-party project that Rovio was offered to publish.

In 2012, small German developers Chimera came to the Finns with a concept (video concept) of a game with turn-based battles in a fantasy style very close to Castle Ville.

Rovio really liked the project, but they refused to publish it. Their suggestion was as follows: make this game, but in the Angry Birds setting.

The creation of the project took two years.
