You heard it here first! Raise your hand if you remember who Heikki Kovalainen is. *One… Two…* OK, not too many, but some of you do, which is good. For those who don’t, Heikki Kovalaainen is a Finnish Formula One driver who is currently sporting an extraordinarily awesome Angry Birds helmet. We mentioned him and showed you his helmet a couple months ago.
In that post, we said:
Rovio has also partnered with Finnish Formula One driver Heikki Kovalainen, according to the racer’s website. This collaboration not only features Kovalainen in a nifty new helmet, but will also merchandise and a new Angry Birds web based game. […] The new web game will be launching sometime in the summer and will likely feature some cool level designs.
With the summer quickly approaching, and thanks to some clever sleuthing by @alfredhartojo, we present the official web app site: heikki.angrybirds.com. The site states that the app will start on June 18th, 2012, and of course we will post when it does and try to get walkthroughs online as quickly as possible. In the meantime, be sure to keep an eye on the many links included on the Heikki Angry Birds site, including Kovalainen’s personal website, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages.
Update: The launch was delayed until June 25th.
looks like a cool game
So where did you get details about the game?
Not sure what you mean.
Hello AMslimfordy i think the game doesn’t come
out on the 18th because i checked the website and now it says that it will come out on the 25th
Yes, we saw this a couple weeks ago. It is noted in the most recent comments, on Page 2 and such.
The details were from the post a couple months ago.

Its not a game guys its a launch site for the formula starring their very own Heikki Kovalainen. :P
Chris, your say is wrong. Rovio went make this web game with discussion with Finnish F1 about this Heikki web game.
I sure hope it’s not a web based game. I’d hate for that to be….UGH
Cool! Looks funny! But a new web game? Why not a new app?
Can’t wait to see! This looks great!
This should be good – F1 and Angry Birds combined! :)
Awesome! but it should have more levels than the AB volcano, pistachio etc and if its good then a new app should be made with F1 .But i wonder what it’s concept will be if its fast paced action including YB and Lazer .I hope it’s not about saving heikki from the pigs or heikki being a fast paced bird or Flinging formula 1 cars from slingshot
Maybe something like Facebook Golden Eggs Level #5? Shooting at moving targets?
Awesome I am looking forward to it
Looks interesting. Birds and pigs with race cars and race courses? Stimulates one’s imagination on game layout and design.
is this one of the (i think) 5 games that rovio wanted to publish 2012? number one was space? number two will be caseys contraptions?
Rovio did not confirm if web based titles/partnerships are part of that list.
Will there also come out a New Angry Birds Game/App 2012?
More than 5 games came out in 2012. Space, Facebook, FujiTV,Cheetos, This, and maybe Amazing Alex
We don’t believe web apps count in the list.
@Slim. Yes i hope so :-) A New App. would be cool :-)
looks fun
I hope this could a racing game/ action game combined. I hope to drive some race cars and also fling some birds in a slingshot. Shooting pigs in racecars ( pigs in the racecars not slingshot in cars) would be fun. I’m looking forward to this game.
hey guys just surfing the net and found this apparently its a new bird thats brown! https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/antpats/album/picture/53/
Just fanart
r u sure? it look pretty legit to me, unless someone is a PRO photoshoper :(
There’s nothing anywhere on Rovio’s Facebook, which is where this image claims to be from. Ergo, fan art
Was the release picture for the Orange bird, the one you found is an edited version.
Here
It’s actually a pretty easy shop.
Wasnt this brought up and de-bunked in another thread about a month ago?
@playdbird Yep – I remember that – also in the forum I think? :)
That looks like The top of Angry_BrownBird’s profile pic
This looks exciting- my husband might actually get interested in Angry Birds and stop wondering what in the world is so enticing about the games :). On the other hand, I may actually think auto racing is something to watch! Thanks for the information, I will be looking for it in June. I like the picture; it will be a nice t-shirt. There will be some great merchandise from this game.
Nice nice
I’m wondering why they didn’t made Hockey Bird app, that would have been awesome too.
wow, new game, cant wait for it.
Yay, I can’t wait. :)
I’m very impatient! I am looking forward more details:D.
I’m just happy the game looks like it’s in english… :)
Meh. Hasn’t stopped me for any of the web apps so far. That’s the beauty of Rovio’s game. It transcends language barriers..
True, but it did take me a while to figure out the directions for the cheetos game and a few of the others…
Awesome! I wonder if there will be a new “Heikkibird”? XD
Apparently at the Monaco GP (next weekend) the whole lotus team, not just Kovalainen, have teamed up with angry birds. See here :)
so it’s gonna be a racing game?
Maybe. Just look to the bird’s eyes. Or a normal AB game with Heikki
Very interesting. I’ll be sure to check it out, especially since the launch date, being MY birthday, certainly caught my eye!
He-Hey, it’s also my birthday too dude…
Hey, have you heard about Lotus F1 team Angry Birds, there’s gonna be a new app, check more at here: http://www.lotusf1team.com/Incoming-Angry-Birds-joins-Lotus.html?lang=en

@lore-fin Didn’t see that, your post was probably awaiting moderation when I posted mine, sorry…
njää there’s no need to be sorry, that happens to everybody :)
In fairness, I beat you both to the punch yesterday, but it’s not really a competition! :)
i know but i just thought that theres no need to be two same things at the same place :)
and sorry i didn’t saw that xD
No worries – I’m sure @amslimfordy can always clean things up! He’s good at that sort of thing….:)
Amen to that
rovio has gone super crazy!!!
just love these games and it’s keep coming out!!
hmm…. heikki you say. I wonder how they will mash angry birds with the racing games up. And i wonder if orange bird will be on space:)
I dont think Orange Bird land on Space. I Hope for a New Bird :-)
Every time Rovio is producing something you never guess what it will be =)
yep, they work in mystery
