Latest brand extension is completely new spin on popular franchise.
Rovio has welcomed a new addition to the Angry Birds family.
Angry Birds Evolution is a completely new spin on the brand, with the birds having been reimagined and redesigned to collect, train and evolve.
Rovio has collaborated with Munich-based studio Chimera Entertainment to create over 100 new birds with multiple evolution states – with some looking suspiciously familiar to certain 80s action legends and comic book heroes.
“RPG games are one of the key focus areas in Rovio Games, and we wanted to make Angry Birds Evolution our first title inspired by eastern RPG games,” said Reginaldo Valadares, head of Rovio Stockholm studio. “Cheeky humor, deep RPG turn-based combat, fresh art style, and pop-culture references galore – Angry Birds Evolution has it all.”
Miika Tams, product lead for Angry Birds Evolution, added: “It’s been a fun ride bringing a more mature tone and stylised graphics along with all the movie, TV, and comic book references together for our more experienced fans.
“This game shows how well the Angry Birds resonates with an older audience, too.”
