Rovio’s newest IP and first completely unrelated to Angry Birds game is nearing it’s release time and Rovio has finally announced the exact date for Amazing Alex’s release onto Android and iOS. Rovio has uploaded a nice little video along with the news to show, very briefly, what the game will look like.
A long time ago we mentioned that Rovio would be releasing a game at some point that would have the pigs as the stars of the game instead of the irritated fowl we have all been flinging for the past couple of years. Well it looks like that could very well finally be coming to reality.
We have been keeping an eye on Rovio over the last month or so in the hopes that they would release more details about their upcoming non-Angry Birds themed game Amazing Alex. Originally a decently popular iOS game called Casey’s Contraptions, Rovio recently acquire the IP and are remaking / re-branding the game before releasing it onto both Android and iOS.
When we first wrote about this update, we figured it would just be another episode for Angry Birds Seasons with some new levels. Pretty standard stuff really. However Rovio has decided to throw in a whole new game mechanic to liven Angry Birds Seasons up a bit.
Rovio keeps popping up in the news on a regular basis even when it isn’t revolving around their Angry Birds franchise. Apparently Rovio has more than just Amazing Alex in the works for release this year which further solidifies Rovio’s attempt at expanding their catalog of games past Angry Birds.
Rovio seems to be wanting to re-enforce the point that even though they have a non-Angry Birds game called Amazing Alex heading out way, Angry Birds isn’t going away. At least that is what we are thinking is a large reason behind releasing a new Angry Birds game themed around their F1 sponsorship of Heikki Kovalainen and F1 racing.
By now you are probably aware that Rovio has a new franchise up their sleeve based on the Casey’s Contraptions iOS game which they just confirmed yesterday that they bought the IP. Well we now have a few more details about what this new game will be and for starters it will be called Amazing Alex.
Yesterday we reported on news that Rovio and their Angry Birds Franchise had been downloaded over a billion times across all platforms and game titles. Along with this announcement was a Thank You video from Rovio which we suspected to be teasing a new game based around Casey’s Contraptions, a popular iOS title.
Statistics… who doesn’t love statistics? Especially when they involve massive numbers that make you go ‘DAMN!’. Well Rovio has pumped out some statistics today about their Angry Birds franchise and their revenue and yes, it includes big numbers.
The folks over at Slashgear have made an interesting observation over today’s Angry Birds Space update which could be a hint at things to come in the future, or not. However, the inclusion of what looks to be the pink Simpsons donut, being munched on by an Angry Birds pig, seems to be an interesting little visual.
