Angry Birds Rio May Update Coming Next Week


Ever since May 1st the number one question we’re getting is, “Hey! It’s May, where are my new Angry Birds Rio levels?” Well, in this case “May” doesn’t mean May 1st, but don’t fret the update is coming very soon. Per Rovio the next Rio update will be out “next week”.

Oh, and since we’re on the topic of updates, Rovio also hinted that the next Angry Birds Seasons update will likely be out in June (source).

In the meantime, please relax and enjoy this cute image.

You know I just realized that it should be called Angry Birds Holidays instead of Angry Birds Seasons. What’s in June? Fathers day?

Anyway, I can’t wait!

Thinking like Rovio (a Finnish company), I think the next update is going to be Juhannus!!!!!
This year, Juhannus falls on 25 June, so I think that will align with a mid-June release (around 18 June, to fit their one-week-prior estimate).

Wouldn’t really make sense to have the next Seasons update as Father’s Day, due to it being a varied date around the world (Finland has it in Novemeber for example I think), plus that it couldn’t really be themed that well…

Something beachy/summery seems the most likely (albeit very nothern hemisphere biased), although given the Rio photo up there is on the beach it might be something different? Who knows….

By Antonio

Cool!!

By Adam

im calling it now, the June Seasons update will be Graduation/End of School/Start of Summer themed.

also… while i enjoy getting new levels once a month, i feel that the levels are really lacking in the creativity the first few episodes of the original AB.

By Gauth

do you know if rovio will continue to create new AB classic levels ?? and when ??

Yes. The rumor is sometime in May.

THE NEXT SEASONS UPDATE IS GONNA BE SUMMER OR 4TH OF JULY. A FATHER’S DAY THEME IS STUPID, I WOULD NEVER PLAY THAT CRAP.

-REALLY WANT SOME MORE ORIGINAL ANGRY BIRDS UPDATES SOON.

PLEASE, don’t use all caps. I don’t like being shouted at. ;) We have no idea for sure what the next seasons update will be, but I’m pretty sure the person that mentioned Father’s Day was joking. Regarding Original Angry Birds I think we heard early summer, possibly even this month on that update. Patience, my friend.

Here’s the latest tweet on ALL THREE:

“Angry Birds Rio next week, Angry Birds this month, Angry Birds Seasons before summer”

Another tweet said Seasons “probably June”.

But before summer is this month, not June? Not that another update would be expected this month, but still…

@byrob, AngryBirdsNest is not affiliated with Rovio Mobile LTD, so we have nothing to do with the releases of updates.

By rob

Yeah i know :( just don’t wanna wait no more.. great job on the nest btw ;) pes.

By ash-titt

cant wait for the may ep. It’s hard to wait so long I’m getting 3 stars and all the trophies waiting for it. Can’t believe how excited it am. Hurry hurry (:

By Zoellner

I think it’s pretty lame of you to charge us up front for a game and only release 1/3 of it. I feel ripped off. Let us know from the get go so we could make a decision as the consumer if we wanted to buy the stupid thing and then wait….. I feel taken advantage of. What other product do you know of does that? Try ordering your food next time, pay for it then let them tell you to come back after you get your salad when” they get around to making it”.

First off, You’re complaining to the wrong people. AngryBirdsNest is a fan site and not the creator of the game, that’s Rovio. Second, When you bought the game they announced the EXACT number of levels that would be out at the time of purchase, 60 levels. THAT is what you paid for. Now they are following the formula of the first game which brought the franchise so many fans. Updates, updates, updates. FREE updates. The only difference is that this time they gave a timeline for when the next levels would be out. Pretty nice if you ask me. Rather than saying “coming soon” which would leave you to say, “Soon? Does that mean a day? a week? a month? Several?” Now they said “Coming Soon…May” Well there you have it, it will be released in May! I say, “thanks for the update!”
For your other point, lets look at that device you’re playing, (and this is universal for pretty much all manufactures lately) you know all the features you have on your device? Did you have ALL of those when you FIRST bought it? Unless you JUST bought it, the answer is no. Apple, Google, Nokia, no matter what, that company has given you updates just as Rovio is giving you updates now. So if you are this upset about a 99 cent game I think next time you need to read the product descriptions MUCH more closely. Rovio isn’t ripping you off. They are giving you HOURS, of gameplay for a buck. One dollar. Patience, my friend, patience.

Excellent response :-) I know my little brother pays up to 50 bucks for ONE Nintendo (or whatever it’s called) game AND he has to wait a long time for an update to that game, and then pay another $50 when it finally arrives! My son and I love everything about angry birds… and we can’t wait to get all those golden watermelons… whenever they arrive!

Seriously dude are you for real!? I’m constantly suprised by the amount of whining people are capable off and then complain about the $1-$2 they spend and then have the guts to say they got ripped off. These apps must be some of the best value for money entertainment you have ever spend money on. How much will you pay for a coke? probably more than what this game cost you and you can look forward to updates all the way to November

Keep in mind that this site is a fan site, so it doesn’t do any good to complain here. If you think about the money you spend on a cell phone, ipod, tablet etc.. $0.99 is nothing. How many other purchases give you so much entertainment for less than a dollar? You may spend $20 for a video or $50 for a game, and they are not really portable. If a movie has a sequel, you don’t get it for free! You can have your angry birds in your pocket or bag anywhere. Not to mention, at least games stimulate your brain a bit:).
Lastly, there are free versions of these games available, as well, so you don’t have to spend anything to play them.

I saw an update available for Rio last night on Amazon appstore. I downloaded it, and installed it. When I opened the game, no more levels appeared. I wondered if the update notice was a glitch, and if anyone else saw it? I checked again today, but no update available. I received an email from Rovio today stating that the update was ready on Amazon, but no sign of it yet. Anyone have the same experience, or I am alone? :)

By timruns

Yeah, I don’t understand either.
I never saw an actual post of an update, but I have a Motorola Xoom and in Amazon AppStore it says I now have 1.1.0 (the new one) but in Rio it still shows 1.0.0 and doesn’t tell me anywhere how to upgrade…
Just curious if people are able to install the new one and what tricks may be needed to do so.

you may have already done this, but here is what I had to do. In appstore, click on myapps, click updates available then hit the menu button and refresh my apps. the update appears again.

I downloaded all three Angry Birds games through the Android market and the update for Rio isn’t available yet. Does anyone know why?

Update for the free version will be a few days.

Our palm is annoying because it is the last day of May and the angry birds rio May update has not come out.

Here’s the latest on Palm.

Rio update for Palm “really soon. Has taken a bit longer as we are making some bigger changes to our webOS tech” [Twitter]

Note, however, that the “New version should run on Pre, but there are some firmware issues with pixi” [Twitter]

By Steven

I see posts on your web site that paying customers should come first (before freeware) yet Palm WebOS is consistently ignored and is last in releases and updates. Yet we pay more than anyone else. Whwn will we be treated like paying customers?

Also, the updates for all mobile devices are submitted simultaneously (iOS / Amazon / webOS / Ovi). Just a matter of how long it takes to clear.

By 2step

Still NO UPDATES for Palm users and just to clarify, we are still waiting for the May version of Rio. Very frustrating!

We know. Not sure what the holdup is. Rovio said they have submitted the update to webOS and are just waiting on the QA.

thanks for the info and the website :)

when does level eight come out for angry birds rio it keeps saying may 2011 but its now june 2011

I think there’s some confusion here. The third episode (worlds 5+6) came out in May. The fourth episode is half out (world 7) but was originally slated for July, not June, so that’s ahead of the game

By Art

It is now July 23, 2011. I have since gotten a really nice Palm Pre 2; however, what would really, REALLY look nice is an updated Angry Birds ANYTHING!! I haven’t seen an update on RIO since April 2011 for WEBOS. Can you tell me where the holdup is? Your almost taking as long as a Verizon Update!

Check out this forum post re:webOS

By Art

I understand about the original Palm Pre – and Palm Pre + running on stock, but what if they’re running on webos 2.x via meta-doctor; what about the newer phones (Palm Pre 2 & HP Veer)? Isn’t the firmware up to snuff on those?

You would have to direct that question to Rovio support. I’m not really familiar with the webOS situation. Just know that one email.
