Rovio Entertainment, the developer of Angry Birds has officially announced Angry Birds Star Wars II, which will follow the story of the prequel trilogy. New characters, new levels and new tricks, check the video presentation below.
Press Release:
“Rovio
Entertainment Ltd and Lucasfilm Ltd announced today a continued collaboration
on the Angry Birds Star Wars franchise with Angry Birds Star Wars II, launching
September 19th in app stores worldwide.
Angry
Birds Star Wars II will follow the story of the three prequel Star Wars movies,
including the introduction of never-before-seen Angry Birds Star Wars
characters. For the first time in history, players can choose to “Join the Pork
Side” and play as one of the villainous pigs.
“Angry
Birds Star Wars was a blockbuster hit for us and Lucasfilm with over 100
million downloads since its release. We are thrilled to be able to introduce
the exciting next chapter in the Angry Birds Star Wars saga to our fans around
the world,” said Jami Laes, Executive Vice President of Games at Rovio
Entertainment. “Some of the most amazing character additions are versions of
young Anakin, Mace Windu and Darth Maul. Hasbro’s TELEPODS technology also
provides a great way to extend the experience beyond the app and bring a whole
new dimension to the gameplay.”
The
TELEPODS line from Hasbro brings an additional interactive layer of gameplay
and content to Angry Birds Star Wars II. In addition to the vast amount of
content readily available in the game, new characters and super powers can be
unlocked for players by placing one of the collectible TELEPODS physical
characters from the Hasbro line on the phone or tablet camera and scanning it
into the game. For the first time ever, players can choose which character they
want to use in the app by “teleporting” their physical character into the game.
Over thirty figures will be available at launch in September.
“Hasbro
worked closely with both Rovio and Lucasfilm to deliver a fully integrated
TELEPODS experience with the new ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS II app. Now fans can enjoy
unprecedented and seamless dual play in both physical and digital ANGRY BIRDS
experiences,” said John Frascotti, Chief Marketing Officer, Hasbro, Inc.
Simultaneously with
the launch of Angry Bird Star Wars II on September 19th, a new line of merchandise
will be introduced to coincide with the game including a complete line of toys,
apparel, accessories, books and plush from best in class licensing partners.
Hasbro TELEPODS will arrive in retail by September for the game launch
and be presented to the public for the first time at San Diego Comic-con in
July.”
