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.

Flappy Bird may have been a global sensation in its own right, but nothing brought birds and smartphones together like Angry Birds. Rovio’s flagship title has since spread to a plethora of form factors and platforms. The company continues to update the title once in a while, add new levels and select new themes to build the infamous bird slinging game on. Recently it has been teasing a whole new Angry Birds title, one that could stray from tradition. Called Angry Birds Epic, its going to be a turn based RPG.

Rovio has been milking the Angry Birds franchise for a very long time now and it is understandable why. After all customers just keep buying the new games whenever they are released, so why would Rovio want to put an end to that, right?

So far we have seen Rovio attempt to break out from the typical Angry Birds setup through titles such as Bad Piggies and Angry Birds Go! which is a kart game featuring characters from the Angry Birds franchise. Now it looks like Rovio has a new Angry Birds game up their sleeve thanks to a teaser video Rovio has posted on YouTube (video above). (more…)

If you think that there has been more than enough Flappy Bird news circulating the Internet these days, and want to take a break from it all, how about this pleasant bit of information from Rovio, the developers of the hugely popular Angry Birds franchise that shows no signs of slowing down or dying out? Rovio took to Twitter to share with the masses that “Big adventure with new birds coming soon!” How soon would this be, we would not know, but I would think that they would not drag this out to the length of what Duke Nukem Forever fans had to endure – which is a very good thing, of course.
