No complaints on our end, as Angry Birds Seasons Year of the Dragon v2.2.0 has been released on iOS, PC, Mac, Symbian^3, and Android via the Android Market and Amazon Appstore! The update should land on other platforms soon and we will update this post as they come online. We say “no complaints” because in the teaser video (click to see that post), Rovio announced that the update would land on the 20th. Apparently, they meant around midnight in Shanghai, since it is only the 19th in most of the world.
In any event, this update features some amazing new content, which we’ve broken down below:
- 15 new levels complete with animated fireworks, awesome new music, and the Mighty Dragon! The leaderboard is up and so are the 3 star and Mighty Dragon walkthroughs!
-
Introducing the Mighty Dragon! That’s right. The Mighty Eagle has been replaced by the ferocious — yet, not too powerful — Mighty Dragon! You summon him the same way you would the Mighty Eagle. Just tap the icon and your slingshot is loaded with a red fish. Fling the fish and watch as the Mighty Dragon flies in and loops around causing massive destruction (RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!).
In addition, the Mighty Dragon will be available for free for iOS, Android, and Symbian users (read: you don’t have to purchase it and you don’t need to have the Mighty Eagle). Unfortunately, it looks Mac and PC won’t be able to harness the Mighty Dragon, which is likely due to implementation hurdles.
- There is one hidden Golden Egg, and the 3-star item appears to be a “Big Banner”. If you need help finding it, check out the Year of the Dragon Golden Egg page.
- Fireworks that, when hit, fly around the screen and trigger a small explosion.
- No new achievements! This is not too surprising since Seasons is nearly out of space on GameCenter achievements.
- Pro Tip: Both golden fish (seems to be a koi) and red lanterns are worth 3,000 points!
We will continue to update this post as the update arrives on more platforms. For now, we want to know your thoughts.
Just got it on iPad. So HD version is out.
Yes, iOS = iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
It hasn’t hit Amazon yet, but I’ve got to make some miles. Will check back later.
looks like a kite.
and one of the richest updates to date, for me. ( graphically that is )
You don’t have to buy “The Mighty Eagle” to use the “The Mighty Dragon”. I never purchase it for season so I’m pretty happy about that)
Having only played on Android devices, and not on a Nook, the Might Dragon (Eagle) is a fun addition to the game. Already running my head against some levels. Only downside is that once you reach 100%, you can’t go any higher.
the golden egg is in level 15..
how do you get it? It’s under the platform
Never mind. 1st try & I got it lol
Thanks just found it. Now I need to get it ;)
bounce big red on the first hanging cliff..
Thanks for the tip
All I did was shoot the bomb bird and I got it, guess it was luck. I try you way and it worked too.
got it without trying too.
I think the three star item may be a red envelope. In the Chinese New Year celebration, it is customary to give the gift of a red envelope typically filled with money (usually an even numbered amount since odd numbers are centered a death or funeral).
Thanks. Got confirmation from Rovio that it’s a “Chinese New Year Banner – Angry Birds style”.
If I could having an iPhone…….[Crying…T^T]
You really need an iPhone. :) Not only do you have a cool phone, you also have quick AB updates. :)
I suggest the Ipod, its fragile, but its awesome!
I hope this comes soon to my PC.
very nice update, but somehow i have the feeling that in the level selection the feather status (__/__ feathers) his a little bit more on the right side! cause on the left there is space and on the right the feather number almost touches the frame! might not be anything but i saw it cause i like symmetry :)
WHooho I CAN USE A Mighty … But do you guys know what the mission is, destroy evertything or just destroy … for the feather, I allready got one feather but i hadn’t destroy everything.
There is a pre-determined amount of damage, unique to each level. Sometimes it’s everything, sometimes it isn’t.
Thank you! I always thougt i had to destroy everything!
btw why are there no achievemenzs? still says 58/58!
Probably due to the lack of space in GameCentre means the maximum number of points they could have is 20. Its the same reasons ABo only received 1 achievement :)
can they onnly give … points per game.
1000 points per app.
Cool update, like it :)
There’s also a youtube link on the golden eggs page, but I’m not really sure where its supposed to link to!
Not clear yet. We will have to wait and see when they redirect.
maybe it works because i finished it, but it just is a youtube link to the teaser released earlier this week :)
The Youtube link sends you to the AB YOTD animation.
Wow, crazy. Ab rio getting update soon. Gamecenter just got updated.
I don’t see it.
Well, something is happening. I’ve got 53 achievements. 7 is missing and the total count is… 65…

:)
That’s been there since the previous update :)
There have been 65 since v1.4.0 was released.
But he’s right, AB Rio was updated in Game Center as well. So I think we will see the update on Monday.
Sorry, I don’t see how it is updated. Can you provide specific details on what’s new?
Well if gamecenter gets updated, the icon gets blank for a second and than become the icon again. Eg by seasons you saw wth icon then it went blank for a sec and came back as yotd.
Correct. So there is nothing new, but because of the icon, you can see that there was an update.
awww man how long is coming soon. (for pc)
BTW, is Mighty dragon coming for pc too because you say all platform
We speculate yes, but we aren’t guaranteeing anything.
Cool update.
In Summer Pignic and Hamoween they added a link to youtube.
Just got it and so far I love it. I enjoy the Mighty Dragon and how he slithers. Great new game!
The link on Year of the Dragon take me to some random page on youtube.
Me too.
Same here. I wonder what that’s about!
super update, finished all with 3 stars! but i hate the dragon/eagle like i never hated anything before! rio can come ;) (hopefully soon
{duplicate}
Hey Laurence, can you comment (anything) on the (new) first comment by Andreas? I’d like to clean this up.
Same here – dragon doesn’t do any where near as much damage as eagle
Well that isn’t great news, I guess it’s because of it’s slim body then?
Sweet I’m in the top5% in game center now
I think this is a beautiful update. I love all of the fireworks and the mighty dragon is much more entertaining than the ME. I’ve only played the 1st 3 levels so far (and even have a top score :-) – for the next 5 minutes). Really lookforward to working through the other levels.
will Android users EVER get the Mighty Eagle or the Mighty Dragon? I WANT IT!
Only T-Mobile Subscribers in the US can get the Mighty Eagle.
Read the post carefully.
Good update but whats next? Usually ABS updates are bi-monthly but this is the second mothin a row with an update. Next month would most likely be a Valentines release. And also the Super Bowl occurs in February but the Super Bowl GE last year was for Rio but who knows about this year. A tease for Angry Birds 2? At any rate, IF a Valentines update occurs next month, it would be the third month in a row with an update and I wouldn’t be surprised if ABS is now monthly. We can hope
I just came from school from the last day of ITBS and this update calmed me down. Right now i have the iPod version of all 3 full version on my iPad, because it’s less money, so I don’t know about the graphics.
Just started playing it! Does anyone know if the mighty dragon is available on
Android?
We don’t know for sure, but speculate that it may be.
I’ve already started my Walkthroughs.. the 1st level is really easy! I’m uploading my 1st Walkthrough now. (3* for once)
the update is awesome!
Couldn’t agree more :)
do u go on game center my nickname is Harrystar6 Whats Yours?
mine is ANTPATS anyways ill send you a request :)
Harrystar6, did you send me a request on Game center?
its so much fun
done!!! great game! golden egg is in level 15 under the catapult…
i think, the banner is a folded chinese flag???
I’m just going by what Rovio told me.
Black bird to the right of the leftmost structure to send debris flying into the egg. Tough one.
Far easier than that. Bounce Big Brother off the top-left platform.
