I think I speak for most when I say that I had no idea that Rovio was going to be unveiling an Angry Birds sequel anytime soon. After all, we had just seen Angry Birds Space earlier this year and the developer just released Bad Piggies at the end of last month. In fact, I assumed that the group was taking a hiatus on their avian accomplishment by producing what they considered to be a new franchise in Bad Piggies.
According to new reports today though, Rovio has not only be working on a new Angry Birds title, but it’s promising to be their most entertaining and iconic creation to date. Coming incredibly soon, November 8th to be exact, the Angry Birds will once again plunge into deep space. This time though, they’ll be playing the roles of some of the more prominent characters of the massively popular space opera, Star Wars.
Angry Birds Star Wars places your favorite feathered friends into the roles they were born to play. So far we know that the Yellow Bird will be portraying Han Solo, the Red Bird will be Luke Skywalker, and the new Pink Bird will be none other than Princess Leia. Big Bro will make his debut as Chewbacca, while the White Bird takes the place of C-3PO. The Black Bird shows his age as the older yet incredibly wise Obi Wan Kenobi. No other characters have really been revealed, but you can bet that Darth Vader will probably be played by the King Pig himself.
Unfortunately, we don’t know much about the titles gameplay. However, Rovio’s Chief Marketing Officer Peter Vesterbacka, stated the following about the game in a press release:
“This is the best Angry Birds game we’ve ever done. It’s the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in a galaxy far, far away. As a big Star Wars fan myself, I’m really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one.”
We will definitely be sure to update all of you as soon as we receive more information regarding the release. One thing is certain though, this is gearing up to be the greatest and most ambitious release Rovio has had to date.
