Angry Birds Space: Red Planet

Rovio Entertainment is attempting to freshen up their popular Angry Birds franchise by releasing Bad Piggies on September 27. The new game for iOS, Android and Mac devices tells the other side of the Angry Birds' story by allowing fans to play as the pigs.

"There's a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the Angry Birds games, and we've been constantly asked: what about the pigs' side of the story?" said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. "Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes."

Rovio Mobile Ltd. released the teaser trailer for the next Angry Birds game on Friday. Angry Birds Red Planet is the follow-up to Angry Birds Space which was released earlier this year.

Rovio is also working on a new pig based game in hopes to freshen up the Angry Birds franchise, which surpassed the 1 billion download mark back in May. According to Pocket-Lint, the new game will be played through the perspective of the pigs, rather than the birds. Players will be tasked with defending their eggs from a catapult assault. The game will feature pig and Angry Bird characters with different strengths and skill sets. Angry Birds Space: Red Planet is expected be avilable sometime this fall, and the new pig-based came is expected to land on iOS devices sometime before Christmas.
