1，Angry Birds 2: Angrier Birds. OK, that’s not actually the title, but isn’t that a missed opportunity?

Anyway, mobile developer Rovio has released Angry Birds 2 worldwide on iOS and Android today. The original Angry Birds and its spinoffs, including Star Wars and Transformers tie-ins, have gathered more than 3 billion downloads since December 2009, according to Rovio.

Angry Birds 2 retains the bird-flinging gameplay of its predecessor, but it adds new spells and a new character (Silver, a bird raised in Pig captivity). It also has a visual upgrade that you can see in the gameplayer trailer below.（source：venturebeat.com ）

2，SHANGHAI — Kabam chief executive Kevin Chou announced today that his company’s Marvel: Contest of Champions has surpassed $100 million in gross revenue in just seven months, making it the fastest-growing Kabam game in history.

That’s a big milestone in the nearly $30 billion mobile gaming market, and it reflects San Francisco-based Kabam’s strategy of focusing on “triple-A” high-quality free-to-play mobile games. The Marvel game has more than 40 million downloads, and it has been a top-grossing game in 106 countries. Now, the company is planning to release it in China later this year, Chou said in a talk at ChinaJoy, the big game trade show that is expected to draw 250,000 people to Shanghai this week.（source：venturebeat.com ）

3，EA (NASDAQ: EA) has announced its Q1 FY16 financials, for the 3 months ending 30 June 2015.

Total sales were $1.2 billion, down 1 percent year-on-year

However, net income was $442 million, up 32 percent year-on-year.

The company ended the quarter with $1.8 billion in cash and equivalents, down 12 percent compared to the total on 31 March 2015.

Better monetisation

Breaking out EA Mobile, sales were a record $145 million, up 18 percent year-on-year and up 7 percent quarter-on-quarter.

With the exception of its UFC wrestling game, EA Mobile didn’t release much during the quarter, however, suggesting that it’s currently relying on evergreen content such as Real Racing 3, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, SimCity BuildIt and the EA Sports games.

Indeed, interestingly, the company’s monthly active player numbers were down from 165 million in the January-March 2015 period to 150 million in the April-June period.（source：pocketgamer.biz ）

4，Game developer Kixeye has reportedly undergone another round of job cuts. Word of the cuts appeared on Twitter earlier this week, and Gamasutra reports that it confirmed the news with “a source involved in the cuts.”

This is the second time this year Kixeye has shed headcount. In January, the company was reported to have laid off about 25 percent of its workforce. However, in confirming that cuts had taken place, CEO Will Harbin said that “reported numbers are incorrect, exaggerated, and we did not get rid of entire engineering teams.”

The scope of this week’s cuts is unclear, and Kixeye representatives have not returned requests for comment.

The San Francisco-based Kixeye has offices in Australia and Canada, and operates a variety of PC and mobile online games for core audiences, including Battle Pirates, War Commander, and Vega Conflict.（source：gamesindustry.biz ）
