Rovio gave warning a couple of hours ago on Twitter that they would be showing off the first in-game footage for their upcoming Star Wars / Angry Birds crossover game, appropriately named Angry Birds Star Wars. While Rovio has pumped out a video or two a week for the past few weeks since they announced the game, none of them have actually shown anything about the game. Now we get to see actual gameplay footage.
Rovio has released their annual Halloween update, officially called Haunted Hogs, for their Angry Birds Seasons game and this time you won’t be smashing pumpkins and pigs outside. Instead the pigs have gone into hiding inside a haunted house, being careful of ghosts and other spooky things while trying to take the pigs out and get their eggs back. Did we mention there is also a new block you’ll have to deal with?
If there is one thing that Rovio knows how to do, and do it well, is merchandise the ever living hell out of Angry Birds and soon to be doing the same for Bad Piggies I’m sure. However, today’s newly announced partnership is about Angry Birds who will now be a part of McDonalds in a new cross-promotion between the two companies.
Back in September we reported on two games that would be coming from Crytek to Android. One was Skylanders Cloud Patrol which was released in conjunction with Activision. The second game was called Fibble – Flick n’ Roll which happens to have been published by Crytek themselves quietly onto the Amazon AppStore back in mid-September quietly.
Rovio’s Angry Birds spin-off game, Bad Piggies, has been out for about a three week ago and it is apparently already time to push out it’s first update. While there isn’t a whole of information regarding this update just yet, we do know that it will be called Flight in the Night, which you can see proof of in the video below (skip to 00:11 to see it).
The world of exclusive game releases specific to a carrier or chipset rolls on and today the fine folks over at Verizon have gotten in touch with us to let us know that Rigonauts is finally available on Android but is temporarily exclusive to Verizon customers who own an Android device packing a Qualcomm chipset. The exclusivity period is only two weeks though so it isn’t a huge deal aside from the minor annoyance of having to wait the two weeks before the rest of us can play the game.
The recently released spin-off game from the Angry Birds universe, called Bad Piggies, has only been out for a short time but it seems the bad pigs are not content with having their own game finally. In the true spirit of wanting everything the birds have, Bad Piggies has invaded the vanilla Angry Birds game in a new update. Oh, and now Angry Birds comes with power-ups?!
A new indie game studio has arrived called Wappworks Studios, a two man team made up of Chris Khoo (an EA alumni) and Chris Ting (a game enthusiast), and they have released their first game for Android called Hyper Grav. This new game is a physics-based action game where you will be taking on mercenaries who have managed to take hostage your society’s sacred symbol, The Arc.
There is a new cross-over that will be coming to the world of Angry Birds and will completely themed around Star Wars. This morning the official announcement event will be happening in Time Square over in New York at 10am EST but we’ve already learned more about this new game along with when it will be arriving and yes, it will be a whole new game. Think of Angry Birds Rio but instead with Star Wars.
Rovio, once known solely for their Angry Birds games which involved slinging birds into pigs (or in one case, cages), has now diversified its gaming portfolio. Their previous game, Amazing Alex, was a puzzler which required you to come up with crazy contraptions to solve simple tasks. Now, they’ve married the antagonists from the Angry Birds universe with the puzzling and contraption-heavy nature of Amazing Alex to come up with Bad Piggies.
