The latest update to the Angry Birds Rio (v1.4.0) is now available for iOS, Nokia, PC, and Android via the Amazon AppStore and Android Market, with other platforms coming soon. As the leaked images showed, this update takes place inside of Marcel’s plane and is aptly named, “Smugglers’ Plane”. The leaderboard and walkthroughs are live.
This update includes:
- 15 new levels in Chapter 11 with Chapter 12 labeled, “Coming Soon”.
- New hidden fruits in the form of Mangoes (seven hidden throughout Chapter 11).
- New achievements to be unlocked (iOS only). Many are “hidden” achievements, so be sure to check out our list.
- Boomerang Bird is now unlocked and he is ready to take his revenge on the smugglers!
- Pro tip! Try to hit the luggage. It’s worth 5,000 points!
Bug fixes:
- The most notable bug fix is the Carnival Upheaval 8-5 threshold bug (iOS only). The minimum 3-star score has been re-confirmed at 65,000.
- The current status of the Stellarvore issue has been verified by a Rovio developer. He said, “Stellarvore will be available when all the levels are released and available :)”.
Helpful links:
- Video walkthroughs for Chapter 11 are live.
- Video walkthroughs for Golden Mangoes are available.
- The leaderboards are live, so come compete with some of the best! Also, let us know how you like the new leaderboard format!
We will keep this post updated the update lands on more platforms. But for now, please enjoy these complimentary screenshots:
I have a LG Optimus One and I don’t get the update.
Not yet on Android Market, if that’s what you mean. It’s available in the Amazon Appstore.
Ok. Thanks.
mine is android on android market too
Great! It’s now in Ovi, too. Let’s play Angry Birds!!!
Thanx for the update, you guys are making them quicker.
When does this update will be available for pc?
Mac and PC only seem to receive full episodic updates. This is only a half-episode, so it won’t likely appear on Mac/PC for some time.
Hey Slim, Did you keep track on the amount of time between when the first half of an episode is released and the second half?
I think this will be a couple weeks. That’s typical. You would have to check the update logs though for specific dates.
Thanks.
Really, just a couple of weeks? Interesting, I always had the feeling that it’s more than a month (the same as between second halves and new episodes).
Nice! :-)
More than a month IS a couple of weeks!!! :-)
I like to be technical and technically/strictly a couple means two. I can understand saying a couple for a range between 1 and 3 (or even 4) items (weeks) but more than a month means like 5 weeks…
So “a couple of questions” means less than 5 questions?
“A couple of roses” means 2, 3 or maximum 4 roses?
If you eat “a couple of peanuts”, you don’t eat more than 4 peanuts?
You’re funny.
That’s what dictionary are for ;-)
1 : two persons romantically paired or associated together (as by marriage or on a date)
2 : two persons or things paired together
3 : an indefinite small number : FEW
Happy Thanksgiving all
Is the orange bird in this one?!?!?!?
No it isn’t.
I hope it’s in wreck the halls and the next origional episode!!!! ;p
after i got all 45 stars, 15 feathers, 7fruits, and 60/65 achievements the game now says that i ve got 60/58 achievements and after scrembled eggs ach. (unlock white bird) the ach. look as if i would have never got them!
so there is no picture next to them just the question mark. and i cant get theme anymore (tried to get that one for watching the credits but nothing showed up) any ideas why?!?!
try to sign off from GC and back in.
If you have 60 achievements then you are fine for the time being. Try restarting your device. This will force GC to reload completely.
after this episode, the game will end?
or Rovio will make some new episodes or add more level to past chapter?
We assume the app will end, but we don’t know for certain.
Arghh!!!!! I hate it when they only give us part of an episode
Then go create your own app and release full-episodic updates. In the meantime, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Be grateful for free updates on a 99¢ app at whatever size or frequency Rovio chooses.
it’s available for symbian via in-app update as well. (no nokia store yet)
Angry Birds facebook profile picture change.It’s now the new seasons app picture. Guess the update coming out very soon.
Looks like an advert for their Christmas Plushies. Not for ABS.
But the 1st of December will be next week. So I also expect the update very soon.
I know, but if you look at the top the red bird is dress/design the same as the app cover (new season update) you posted.
I was wrong/Just compared the backgrounds and it didn’t match.
Is it someone who knows when time the Angry Birds Rio update is coming to Android Market?
Usually about 1 week after it lands on Amazon.
When will the 2nd part of smugglers plane be out? Because I beat everything already
And im bored
Patience is a virtue. It takes time to create levels.
Ply more and increase your score adding at list 100K’s o more. It is what I do . I have 178 friends on game center and I am # 7. So you can Check your advances over your score , and them too. it is fun .!!
Any specific date or no
No, Rovio does not release Any dates concerning future updates.
Ok thanks Because my friend wanted to know
For rio what’s the 60 achievement
The list is located on the toolbar.
I’m guessing you mean stellavore, which was available to some people, so is confirmed, but not available to those who haven’t got it until after all levels are released. :)
hey amslimfordy (or another admin) i just wanted to inform you that “ovi” no longer exists. nokia ditched the ovi branding and went back to the “much stronger name” nokia. it’s called nokia store now. just wanted to let you know for future posts. regards trefoil
Thanks trefoil, just let them know.
Ok, thanks for the heads up.
Any idea what the top score achievement will be for Smuggler’s Plane?
Haven’t heard anything.
Thanks AM. I thought someone may have looked it up in the achievements folder. BTW-This is a Great website!
the only one left is the orange bird
Do you think there will ever be an update for AB Rio Free?
Most likely, since they’re advertising all that Rio has to offer. Angry Birds Free is a good example – it has three levels for each of the themes. I suspect Rio Free will be the same.
Mine and Dine has yet to appear as a theme for free. Not really sure they’d still be adding it, but who knows?
I have asked Rovio and they said that all 3 Frees will receive updates.
i hav the game but the version is different,if u find version v1.3.2,pls reply
As the first line says, v1.4.0 is available for iOS, Nokia, and Android via Amazon AppStore. If you have one of these, update your app. Otherwise, you have to wait.
ok
but wat if my version is v1.3.2?will it still come out
Yes, the platforms due to receive the updates are PC and Mac and will be out in some weeks
I am the least computer/tech savvy person on the planet. Yet, I have a super droid spring phone. I can’t seem to be able to download for free the new Smuggler’s Plane episodes? Any suggestions? Thanks, Marble
As this says, it is not yet out for Android Market.
hey any admin can ask rovio when they will release a new version of ABO? cuz they are working too much time on seasons and rio and nothing new of original :( plz help me
They aren’t neglecting the original app. There are just a few issues that need to be dealt with before an update can be released.
also do you know when 1.4.0 version of rio will come to pc and mac?
Won’t be out for some time. Mac and PC only seem to receive full episodic updates — not half episodic updates like mobile devices.
hey slim, the retail versions of Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio have the same content as the digital download ones, right?
We don’t have any information on that. Waiting to see if Rovio releases a press release on the topic, or what they have to say. What is concerning about those products is that they are not published by Rovio, so they could very well be phony.
Again, just speculation. Have asked Rovio and will see if they respond.
well actually i saw them on {—} and were in stock so i don’t think they can be phony, can they?
Rovio has responded and said that these apps are legit. Here are the links:
Angry Birds on PC CD-ROM
Angry Birds Rio on PC CD-ROM
also this might not be a big deal but i also saw on Microsoft’s Intel Appup store, they were selling Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio for 4.99 instead of 4.95. plus it said the original one had 288 levels. does the intel versions have all the levels including facebook/twitter levels too or the same as the direct download from downloadangrybirds.com?
i have a HUGE OCD problem. lol. I would like them to fix that sound issue in Angry Birds Seasons for PC. It’s bugging me real bad. lol. I’m not mad at all, i would just like them to fix it, that’s all.
Our contact has commented on the Seasons sound issue: “Update will be available later to fix this issue.”
AppUp and Mac both sell at $4.99. That’s not a big deal. I don’t believe they have the Facebook/Twitter levels, so they probably just grabbed the text from the mot recent iOS descriptions. (You can see that elsewhere, such as “achievements” comments in Mac or Android descriptions)
would you happen to know why they didn’t fix the sound issue before they released it? Was it because it was released by accident a few months ago?
It looks like the sound file is simply compressed — which they may do while working in-house for resources’ sake. But I have no idea.
okay last question, In your opinion, do you think that would be an easy fix for them?
I would think so, but I think they will wait til the next level update.
When it’s come to Android via Android Market
Aabout 1 week after it lands on Amazon.
I thought it came out on Amazon over a week ago now!
We are approaching 1 week, but even still, we said about 1 week.
Can someone give me a link to the Amazon AppStore because it’s not released on the the Android Market.
Simply google search it and you should get there.
Ok. Thank you.
So… Is it possible to download the update on amazon even though you downloaded it on the android market?
If you meet Amazon’s requirements (which include being in the US), then you can purchase and download the ad-free version of Rio (for $.99). It should import your scores from your existing version.
hey slim, Angry Birds seems laggy on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 installed. are they having performance issue that need to be fixed or is it just because i don’t have an iPhone 4S?
I don’t see any issues on my 3GS.
you know how when you update your iPhone’s OS to the next Major update (for example: for iPhone 4 iOS 4 to iPhone 4 iOS 5, the iPhone seems to be just a bit laggy because of all the new features that were mostly meant to run on the iPhone 4S which i think might have slowed my iPhone 4 down just a bit. At the second i release the birds from the slingshot, the game seems skip have a second which i think may be due to the major update to iOS 5. IDK. LOL
when there’s a major update, most apps will reset it’s preferences and will have location and notification on. That’s a major source for lag and shortened battery life.
Clearing the apps from the multi tasking bar will help too.
hey slim, what iOS Software Version do you have on your 3GS?
My 3GS is at 501 because I desperately needed that “battery life” fix.
My iPad is at 5 since I’m planning to JB and help out Fuji.
JB as in Jailbreak, right?
And Angry Birds on your iPhone 3GS is running with absolutely no skipping or lagging?
Maybe occasional lagging, particularly when I multitask back into the app from elsewhere. But in general, they run smoothly.
slim, you can still jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1, you know?
There is no untethered jailbreak for iPad 2 after 4.3.3. The next one to arrive will be for 5.0.0. That’s why I wait.
you know what’s funny, i have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 installed and everytime i exit out of any app, i alway clear the Multitasking Bar and i also have 3 Optimization apps that maximize my iPhone’s Performance yet i still have some lag. Would you happen to know why?
Great,now here is Wednesday,hope today the update for android will come! :D
The Angry Birds Rio update is out on the Android Market. :-D
Thanks, post updated.
Finally its here:). Been waiting impatiently since it came out on the other platforms.
i want to know how can i get the update for PC
If you already have the app from download.angrybirds.com, then you should be prompted to update to v1.4.0 when you launch the app.
Do you get anything if you get all three stars in each level or find all the fruit?
On iOS, with Game Center, you get achievements. On other platforms you don’t get something for the fruits but you get a star on the episode’s trophy when you 3-star all the levels.
