Rovio dropped a bombshell last night on Facebook and Twitter when they announced a new “huge” Angry Birds Seasons update coming in 24 hours.
In 24 hours Angry Birds Seasons will be getting a HUGE update with a brand new episode!
We don’t have a lot of specifics, but based on the above image one doesn’t have to be a Mathematician (*cough* @amslimfordy *cough*) to deduce the update is connected to the 2014-2015 NBA basketball season. I mean, the image shows a basketball arena, a 24-second shot clock and an official Spaulding NBA basketball. Wikipedia confirms that the 2014-2015 NBA season starts on October 28, 2014. This is a slam dunk!
This is not the first time Rovio has teamed up with major league sports in the US. Previously, we’ve seen collaborations with the Philadelphia Eagles for NFL football and Hockeybird is currently the official mascot for NHL hockey.
Speaking of NHL, don’t forget to send in your designs for an NHL-based level in the 5th Birdday competition (after you have submitted your designs for Angry Birds Nest and Pigineering levels, of course!)
As usual, we will have more information as it comes and will provide walkthroughs once the update is available.
In the meantime, add your comments, speculation and other thoughts below. Are you excited for this new update? Do you enjoy sports-based Angry Birds collaborations? Are you just happy to see a Seasons update?
