Angry Birds is one of the most popular mobile game franchises of all time. There have been several games launched in the series and until the Angry Birds Go racing game landed, most of the apps had the same basic game play. A new Angry Birds game had been teased with the tagline “The Most Epic Soft Launch Ever.”

It appears that the word “Epic” was a hint at the next game. Reports have surfaced along with some screen shots that call the new game Angry Birds Epic. The game is rumored to be a narrative, turn-based strategy RPG. If that is accurate, it will be a big change from its traditional game play.

The game will be free to play and will be supported via in-game purchases. Screenshots tease “epic” upgrades that involve upgrades for your characters and more. Those weapons and upgrades are tipped to be items that the player crafts in the game. Unsurprisingly, to speed up the crafting process, gamers are said to be able to purchase the upgrades in the game with real money.

Angry Birds Epic will land first in Australia and Canada. There’s no word on exactly when it will be released.

The company’s first and only AMOLED tablet was released back in 2011, it was called the Galaxy Tab 7.7. Display size of the new tablet is not known, but it is believed to range between 8-inches and 10-inches. Specifications of this tablet have been “confirmed” by a site with a credible past record, but one should check them out with an open mind and take the information with a grain of salt.

In November 2013 both next generation gaming consoles were finally released. Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 are now competing against each other in the market, and as per recent results, the latter seems to be outperforming its competitor. The Xbox One is a mean machine in its own right, so its not like it doesn’t have the guts to take on PS4. DealNews recently conducted a survey and found that almost 35 percent of the 1,727 polled who owned both Xbox 360 and PS3 said that they’d rather only purchase the PlayStation 4.
