It’s Official! New Info Emerges from the Dark Side
That didn’t take long! Looks like Fast Company will get the exclusive sneak peek at the forthcoming “Angry Birds 별, 스타 Wars” game, which will include a huge line up of licensed products. The most notable nugget is that Angry Birds 별, 스타 Wars will “hit devices” on October 28th (though there is some 토론 on that). That’s right! It’s a native app, not a web app 또는 update.
Fast Company can confirm, via Lucas Film, the production company behind the 별, 스타 Wars franchise, that on Monday morning at the Toys R Us store in New York’s Times Square, LucasFilm will announce a toy line to accompany Angry Birds 별, 스타 Wars. The game casts the furious fowl as 아이콘 from the movies. And yes, Red Bird will be Luke Skywalker.
A bit further down in the 기사 they speak to a potential release date, which is much sooner than I would have thought.
…Southern says the game will hit devices on Oct. 28th, which conflicts with an earlier 날짜 we were told–Rovio says the 날짜 has yet to be determined and could be later.
Let’s give credit where credit is due, I think Bita.ca’s original Angry Birds 별, 스타 Wars mashup played a huge roll in making this happen. Also, not to be discounted are the 팬 on this site, who continually pushed for this to happen. I personally would just would not let it die. **Pats self on back**
What we said before
Yesterday, we 게시됨 about a mysterious teaser image that Rovio put up on their 페이스북 팬 page. We really had no idea what it was, but to me it did look a lot like a Jedi from 별, 스타 Wars. But we’ve speculated about Angry Birds + 별, 스타 Wars before, so that just couldn’t be it. Well, this time it looks like the force is strong and it just might be! Today, on Rovio’s Tumblr page they 게시됨 the animated GIF above. Per Tumblr, it looks like 더 많이 details will be revealed this coming Monday:
Times Square, New York, October 8th, 10am EST.
HINT: Head to Toys R Us at 8am EST!
So now that we know it is 별, 스타 Wars, what exactly could this mean? Here are what people have speculated thus far:
It’s a brand new game! We really have no idea, but some of the Rovio team has taken to Twitter saying things like, “This is going to be… Epic” and the “Next big thing”. A new Angry Birds 별, 스타 Wars game would definitely qualify as epic.
This will be an updated and new episode in Angry Birds Space. With Red Planet still unfinished this seems unlikely, but anything is possible. If it is a game, it would likely use Space’s physics engine.
This is related to Rovio’s new book app. While this is cool, it doesn’t seem quite big enough to be it.
