You can kill only so many pigs in angry birds before inevitably starting to feel a little empathy with them, therefore it is not a huge surprise that the next game in the franchise of Rovio will allow you to discover the world of birds in anger from the point of view of pigs. The game will be launched on 27 September and will be available for iOS, Android and Mac OS. Rovio said that Windows 8, Windows Phone and PC versions will follow shortly.
Which is not to say Rovio, is what will look like the real game, although J.J. McCorvey Fast Company got a taste of the game and notes that Bad "Piggies" will be a physics puzzler where players must help the pigs built "vehicles and gear." Pigs, said, will be really sympathetic in this game.
"There are a lot of empathy for the engaging enemies of the game Angry Birds, and we were constantly asked: what side pigs of history?" said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio, in a canned statement today. "Bad" Piggies "gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the universe angry birds and explore this rich world through their green eyes".
The Angry Birds franchise allowed Rovio 106,30 million $ in revenues in 2011. A third of which came from merchandising and licensing. There were persistent rumours that the company plans IPO in 2013, but it will take probably show that it can increase its range beyond angry birds prior to this.
Last game of Rovio, incredible Alex, made his debut at the top in the iTunes charts, but never had anywhere near the traction of the game Angry Birds, perhaps because his game was a little too complicated to angry birds. Earlier this month, Rovio has also teasing a new angry birds in the game of space (red planet).
