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 estrella Wars” game, which will include a huge line up of licensed products. The most notable nugget is that Angry Birds estrella Wars will “hit devices” on October 28th (though there is some debate on that). That’s right! It’s a native app, not a web app o update.
Fast Company can confirm, via Lucas Film, the production company behind the estrella 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 estrella Wars. The game casts the furious fowl as iconos from the movies. And yes, Red Bird will be Luke Skywalker.
A bit further down in the articulo 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 fecha we were told–Rovio says the fecha 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 estrella Wars mashup played a huge roll in making this happen. Also, not to be discounted are the fans 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 dicho before
Yesterday, we publicado about a mysterious teaser image that Rovio put up on their facebook fan page. We really had no idea what it was, but to me it did look a lot like a Jedi from estrella Wars. But we’ve speculated about Angry Birds + estrella 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 publicado the animated GIF above. Per Tumblr, it looks like más 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 estrella 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 estrella 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.
