Rovio Soft-Launches Angry Birds Epic RPG In Australia, Canada And New Zealand
March 17, 2014
Rovio has just soft-launched its next "epic" Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Epic.
The Finnish entertainment company first teased the new game just over a week ago, with a short video showing Red Bird as a knight in shining armor. A few days later, it was revealed that the game is, in fact, called Angry Birds Epic and is, in further fact, a role-playing game, rather than a physics-based puzzle game.
Specifically, Angry Birds Epic is an adventure RPG set in a fantasy version of the Piggy Island. It offers an "epic" storyline, turn-based combat, and an extensive crafting system for making armor, weapons, and potions using resources that are either collected or purchased.
Check out the game's official gameplay trailer, which has just been posted by Rovio:
