Do not delete Angry Birds Rio!
On the heels of Angry Birds Rio’s first update in nearly nine months, some of our fantastic sleuths have uncovered even more good news! Angry Birds Rio will receive a full-sized update, in a new episode called Fruit Market! We have learned our lesson since the Pig Dipper incident, so here is our standard disclaimer, “The episode title is subject to change”. Our guess is that the general theme of the episode will be based on the deleted scene from the movie, which we have included below for your viewing pleasure.
Details are extremely scarce, of course. We have no idea when this update will land, especially with Rovio’s developers working on so many other editions of Angry Birds. If the other episodes are any indication, Fruit Market will have two chapters with 15 levels each — likely distributed over two separate updates. We expect Power Ups to stay, though of course we still hold out hope that some distinction between scores obtained with and without Power Ups.
A very small tidbit, that could mean nothing or everything. If you look closely at the image above, you can see a pig on the roof of one of the buildings. (See immediately left of the word “Market” or within the episode sliver.) Whether this means that those dastardly green piggies will appear in Rio for the first time (not counting balloons), or if it’s simply an Easter Egg that Rovio wanted to put in, remains to be seen. I dare say that the combined forces of pigs and marmosets could prove a formidable foe for our feathered friends.
A very special thanks to all those sleuths, especially @NerdyBird for providing the image and @AngryPerson for proving my skepticism wrong.
Wow! Thanks @AMslimfordy for the update.
I wonder what kind of hijinks we’ll see in 2014 when Rio 2 launches…
Yeah, I’m exited for the coming of Rio 2 in 2014!
I am wondering too what will happen when Rio 2 launches…
and I think a new update will come!
@cal2004 – i agree. I love Rio and AB Rio. I really hope Rovio makes a whole new game.
Unfortunately the video has been blocked by Fox for copyright reasons.
Well, it might be on the DVD or the Blu-ray disc, I think. It’s been a while since I’ve watched it, so I’m uncertain. In any event, it will be good to see an update, even one based on a deleted scene. Again, I’m uncertain, but I think there were two deleted scenes on the disk, so that might mean another chapter before Rio2 gets released.
Merry Christmas @TruckDriver, I wonder if they’ll leave us PC users out in the cold on this one too? The Small Rio update’s not yet out for us, so they’ll probably put us PC’ers in a Freezer for the big Update.
I’m sure they’ll get around to the PC’ers eventually.
New one posted, but it might get removed soon too.
I would like some of that fruit. Looks like it improves the spirit.
That makes Blu being a fruit maniac!
Rio has always been a great game. Glad to see a full update will be coming. The Blue Bird has always had a great flight pattern. Hope they use more of Blue in the update. It seems like ages since I played Rio but the Awards Room was when I was awarded my first #1 score. Those events alway stick, especially the first one. It lasted only for the night but the fun was in the process of getting there.
@wrw01, I have always liked Rio, too. I got my first #1 score in Jungle Escape :). I have mixed feelings about Blue’s path; it depends on my result ;)- more my poor technique than anything else.
Thanks for keeping us up to date, @admins!
These in the Image are no pigs
These are Decorations like the ballons in Carnival Upheaval
Save the image to your comp.. then zoom in. It’s a pig.
Though, as speculation suggests, this may just be a “billboard” of sorts. And that is what I am hoping for.. as I see no reason to add the pigs to Rio since that version is based off the movie, that has no pigs in it.
Guys, I believe this scene would likely have been put in after the birds escape from the smuggler’s den but the definite cutoff for this event happening storyline-wise would probably have to be around Carnival. Rovio should think about that when it comes time to place the sliver in the menu, or at least call a member of the movie crew if you know anyone from there to figure out the parameters that you can use for all these things like placement and storylines.
It’s a deleted scene. Makes sense to appear at the end of the list.
I was of the belief the image posted was a ‘fan art’ image from Deviant Art? Surely if it was a Rovio image they wouldn’t have posted the image all over deviant art?
That wasn’t Rovio who posted it.
… Can’t waiting for the News. Hopefully Rovio change Problemes with PUps :-)
I do hope so, but I doubt it. They’ve missed the off button in a major update, I can’t see that many changes here for an episode release.
Rio has always been the worst AB game, to me. All of the physics and effects seem markedly different to other games. But new episodes mean I will no longer have 3* across the board, and we can’t have that!
@hinarei, but If it wasn’t for ABR, they would have not stepped out of their shell from classic, and made the newest sprites for the birds and pigs!
@souperbrick sorry I missed your reply!
woo. sprites. I was fine with Classic, nothing wrong with Classic sprites! OK, had to do something different with Star Wars and Space, I can see that…
thing with Rio is that it all seemed to be such an effort. It seems to me to behave markedly different from ABO and Seasons and for no discernible reason: there’s no gravity or water effects to worry about like in Space, but the birds sometimes appear to be flying through treacle.
Still, I’ll play it if it’s out there and on an accessible device :D
I agree totally @hinarei !!!
I don’t… hate the game as such, @cc-jolly, don’t get me wrong (it’s Birds, after all), but it’s not Birds as came before or after. Every effort prior or since has been, well, better.
Now that it is mentioned officially,I will wait for this update. It’s true that I personally tried to uninstall this app from my PC, thinking an update for it was too farfetched for an update but now along with the bonus episodes(which still hasn’t landed for PC yet), now there’s even more reason not to discard ABRio.
I don´t know why they would delete that scene, looked so funny.
Is everyone sure that it will be a new, full-sized episode, I have a feeling that it could be a new shop, in which the golden fruit is sold for Power-Ups, The Mighty Eagle (in which nobody has mentioned that he is randomly in the image) and maybe a new addition to the game!?!?!
It’s an Episode update. The Mighty Eagle is not part of the original image but added by use to spice it up a bit. (Plus the Mighty Eagle already exists for Rio)
I can’t wait for this update!
… The Trailer looks very awesome !!! Cant weit to See New Levels of RIO because we havent Seen a update a Long time ago !!!
Wasn’t there bonus levels released just a few days ago with power-ups? :)
There was. I think they did that to prep us for the next new update, aka Fruit Market. However, that name of the new world may change as the details for it are limited.
Yes @peatree2 you’re right but we don’t saw a New episode since a while ago !
I think that there will be lots of fruit in the levels.
That would be cool update, I am really glad that Rio still lives and lookig foward for new update.
Since Jewel was freed by Luiz and escaped in Smugglers Plane, she might have her own power in the episode, unless she’s caught-again
@blutheangrymacaw, good thinking but depends on whether Rovio includes her or not.
How would the levels work? Anyway, i now have the catchphrase “Birds vs monkeys” in my head.
This probably means more bonus levels to add to the Trophy Room. Wonder what golden fruits we’ll have to find this time.
Maybe a mixture? I mean, it’s a FRUIT market. But very good question.
Maybe Grapes and an Opened Fruit Crate with some random fruits as the two extra levels.
Strawberries
Maybe kiwis
@theog … slim really means Strawberries for the new “Award Room” (a.k.a Trophy Room).
Yeah, I know, I just want to reply the question above
My response was not a guess ;)
How do you know that? (You see it in the data files?)
Good place to start
Excuse me @AMslimfordy, what will be the level icon (e.g. luggage bag for airfield chase)for 3-starring Fruit Market?
I believe that was a crate (filled with assorted fruit)
I believe some tropical again. Maybe passion fruit? We will see it, hopefully really soon.
I hope pink bird is in this update.
In fact, that may be why they added this update. To put Stella in the game.
What they should do is add another 15 levels to Golden Beachball to even out that section with the others as well.
@amslimfordy Come on.The final cutscene in Smugglers’Plane shows the birds returning to their own island.So why are they coming back to the city?It’s like a kidnapped kid returning to where he’d been forced to stay after being rescued and going back to his family.
It’s a deleted scene. It’s not a scene after Smugglers Plane
@Fleshyskeleton You realize I don’t work for Rovio, right?
they should have you on the payroll at least ;)
Happy New Year @all ! Unfortunately i don’t see many fireworks today :(
Happy new year all I will be not cheeky anymore from now on lol
Although I am really loving ABSW, Rio was and still is very fun to play. I am very glad that Rovio has decided to update it with at least one more set of levels. The bonus levels were alot of fun.
OK thanks @AMslimfordy for the news. As you replied on my question that Rovio most probably isn’t going to release Rio v1.5 for PC users. Then let’s wait for the Full-sized update i.e. Fruit Market and hope it will release soon…
Okay I have,maybe, the weirdest question. While i was playing,in Rovio logo screen,i was reading what was written under that, noticed smthing. What is Piggy Bank??
Perhaps this will help answer your question. It’s not too specific, but it will give you an idea:

I just noticed that Rio is free this week for iPhone & iPad. Maybe Rovio is getting excitement for Rio generated for the new update… I think we’ll see it next week.
Either you are right, or Rovio was depressed because it was under 200 on the Top Apps list.
And this is the reason why AB Rio gets into my new iPhone 5 first. I have to be very careful not to overspend on apps, so I daren’t install all of them at once.
Just keeping Rio in my PC only waiting for this update. I go to Rio to see if 1.5.0 lands there but nope. I think it won’t land for PC. So hope this update will land really fast.
@amslimfordy And, i get in game update notification in all 4 games except Rio. Isn’t that unusual? I used to get notification till 1.4.0 version
I would think with the Rio Olymics in 2016, they would want to keep thing going. The Hubby and I have been joking around about it since the announcement at the London Olymics. We have even talked about going, what a great place for the First ABN Convention!!!!! ;D
@birdleard @amslimfordy
When did we see Fruit Market. I am looking forward to see it on February 7th. Maybe it have something to do with Carneval :-)
What’s Feb 7th?
Rio Carnival February 8–12 2013 ;)
Oh ok. Well that makes sense now. I live in New Orleans and Mardi Gras Day is Feb 12 this year and we have 2 weeks of carnival time before that day. I was a little confused. I didnt think Rovio knew about that.
@sal9 and @ncisgrabert we will see!? :-)
@ncisgrabert may i ask you a personal question? You Nickname sounds interesting. :-) Means NCIS Navy CIS? And do you mean the TV Series? When yes i love watching Navy CIS :-)
@cc-jolly – i love both tv shows. Cant wait to see them tonight! Thats how i got my user name. I had to change my email address bcz of too much spam. I just added nci in front of my old email which is just the 1st initial of my 1st name then my last name. I coudnt think of anything else and was hoping that people wouldnt think I’m in the navy.I just love the tv shows. :-)
Yes i also love Navy CIS. The best day for me is watching on Saturday. There are 3 series in a row. Yeaaaaah
Go Abby!
And dont forget the rules of Gibs :-) @bird_addict
Angry Birds Rio, both the ad-free and HD version, are free for a limited time on Amazon Appstore.
Does anyone know why the power-ups for pc version not?
The reason is that IAP (in app purchase) is not enabled on pc.
