The teaser features a similarย setting to the original Angry Birds game, with pigs oinking, birds scouting and a familiar score. Although details about Angry Birds 2ย are mostly unclear, it will likely continue the same game play of theย original game where birds are tossed through a slingshot, but with potential improvements in regards toย graphics, sounds, and mechanics. As tweeted by Rovio, the developer of the game, it will be “bigger, badder and birdier.”
Released initially in 2009 as a smart phone application, Angry Birdsย has spawned a number of games forย personal computers and gaming consoles as well as spin-offs and television series based on the franchise. Rovio has also expanded its offering to toys and other apparel to keep the game appealing. An animated feature film of the same name is also in-development with Sony Pictures.
