Angry Birds fans will be pleased to hear that developers Rovio have announced that it is to create a version of the game based on the upcoming animated movie “Rio” due for US release in mid-April.
The “twist” to the hugely popular original game is that the original flock is kidnapped and taken to Rio where they then escape and seek to help their friends – two macaws named Blu and Jewel who will be the stars of the 20th Century Fox film.
Consisting of 45 levels with more available via automatic updates, the game will initially be released on smart-phones and tablets. However, since the original has also recently been released on Mac and Windows, don’t be surprised to see more platform releases if it takes off.
If you can’t wait until then, you can find video previews of the game here.
