Buckle up, Angry Birds fans. It’s time for a new adventure.
Mobile gaming giant Rovio on Wednesday released the latest addition to its uber-popular Angry Birds franchise — Angry Birds Go! — in app stores around the world for for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, and Blackberry 10 devices. The game lets players jump behind the wheel of a downhill kart and race through Piggy Island, Mario Kart style, as their favorite Angry Birds characters, including Red, Chuck, Stella, and King Pig.
Angry Birds Go! features more than 50 different soapbox karts and a selection of tracks ranging from “canyons to speedways and stunt roads to air courses,” Rovio said. The game is Rovio’s first major free-to-play Angry Birds title, and the first time players get to see the Angry Birds in 3D.
“As with every previous Angry Birds game, there’s lots of free content and we have great new updates already planned — including the eagerly awaited arrival of multiplayer,” Jami Laes, Rovio’s executive vice president of games, said in a statement. “Our main goal is to provide an amazing experience with more than enough content to make sure everyone has a blast. We do offer some really awesome premium content for fans who want a bit more, but we’ve designed the game so that you don’t have to pay to have a great time.”
Rovio first teased Angry Birds Go! in June, calling the title its “most thrilling and action-packed game yet!” The company has teamed up with select partners, including State Farm, the Goldfish Brand, and Target, to “surprise fans with more fun and special content,” like free power-ups and exclusive karts.
The game also features Telepods technology from Hasbro, first seen in Angry Birds Star Wars II, for another interactive layer of gameplay and content. The technology enables players to “teleport” physical Angry Birds Go! karts into the digital game using their mobile devices. To complement the mobile launch, Rovio and Hasbro are launching a collection of karts, tracks, and other toys.
