The Next Angry Bird Game Will Be an RPG, We Have Mixed Feelings
Guess you can call us "frustrated but optimistic birds."
I’ll admit that I’m not the hugest fan ofAngry Birds:I just don’t see the appeal, particularly with regard to the tie-in products for consumers (seriously, imagine ifFlappy Birdwas producing kids’ lunch boxes — it’d be ridiculous). But the new《愤怒的小鸟》史诗might be enough to change my mind.
Kotakuis currently reporting that according to Rovio developers, the upcoming《愤怒的小鸟》史诗will be an “adventure role-playing game,” complete with turn-based combat and crafting. Now that’s something I can actually get behind. Learning the physics of launching birds at pigs never quite grabbed me, but casting spells on pigs with elemental weapons? Sounds great. Plus, maybe they’ll actually get a chance to develop the characters ofAngry Birdsbeyond “this one is red!” and “this other one is pink so she’s a girl!” You know, give ’em personalities and stuff. Not that every RPG out there has fully fleshed out characters (coughFinal Fantasy), but this is an opportunity for Rovio to win me over.
Later this week, an early version of《愤怒的小鸟》史诗will launch on the Canadian and Australian iTunes stores. The final product isn’t set to launch globally for all platforms until later this year.

- Between this and their recent NSA non-scandal, Rovio’s looking pretty good lately
- We also love this version of the theme song
- ButAngry Bird Star Warsis still an abomination
