Alright, details are sparse at the moment, but Rovio is definitely planning something. Sometime during the night the Pigs formed themselves a union and decided they needed to go public (you can see their press release below). In addition to the press release, those portly pigs have launched their own Facebook and Twitter accounts. So what’s going on? My guess is this will eventually end up with a brand new game, but that’s just me. Whatcha thinkin?! Yu likez? Share your insightful thoughts and opinions below.
New Details!
Rovio has confirmed via their September 4th press release that “Bad Piggies” is indeed a NEW app. It will be launching on iOS, Android, and Mac on September 27th, with other platforms (Windows Phone, Windows 8, and PC listed specifically) “following shortly”. It’s also notable that in the press release they say that there is, “not a slingshot in sight!”
We also dug up some additional game play details from an exclusive look that Fast Company author J.J. McCorvey (why don’t we get these?!) received:
- It sounds like the same pick of play appeal of Angry Birds will be present in Bad Piggies, yet the game play might be more similar to Amazing Alex. “”There’s not much intense thinking required: An intuitive interface guides the player in assembling the vehicle, and if it crashes before collecting all three stars, the player is taken right back to the start screen.”
- Those pesky pigs just can’t get enough eggs! “The swine are stranded on a desert island and have to build vehicles and contraptions to make their way to the delicious eggs that they can’t seem to get enough of. Though there is a three-star mechanic at work, there are no birds in sight, and the pigs are bouncy, jovial, and downright likable–a far cry from the snorting, antagonizing characters from the Angry Birds installments.”
Official Press Release from the “King Pig Office” on “Piggy Island”

We haz Facebook and twitter
Yu no like?

k thanks byeAbout Pigs
Pigs are awesome. Birds stink. OINK OINK! 4 more info check out facebook.com/badpiggies
Thanks to @sal9 for the awesome image at the very top, which he compiled from a few of the teaser images. Below are some additional teasers, including a YouTube clip.
It looks like it’s more like a “build your way to the eggs” game and not “protect yourself from the birds”. It reminds me of Cargo Bridge.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
I got surprised when I saw windows 8. This actually is in development. Its all over microsoft’s site. Something tells me Rovio and Microsoft are gonna do some promotions together.
Angry birds classic and space are also being released for windows 8. Anyways it is a much anticipated platform, there is no way rovio would miss it
Acutally, Windows 8’s in the FINAL stages of development.
Why the freckles on the pig?
Why not?
They just changed their cover photo,now with even MORE Piggies :)
And one more thing,the main page,www.badpiggies.com has been updated :D
Well since bad piggies was announced, the pigs need to really get to work! Also, we already know that they updated the website
Hey, slim… I’ve done some thinking, and I’ve deduced that the image of the pig thinking of building a few structures you guys got a while ago could be the title screen for the new app (if it’s an app). Like, you know how in all of Rovio’s games, when you start the game, it has the white screen that says ROVIO and then has a picture that says “Angry Birds Seasons” or “Amazing Alex”, loading….? I think that’s what the image is for. Just a thought.
Maybe there is only one freckled pig, and you have to build a structure to protect mainly him because he’s a child, maybe. And you get extra points for protecting other pigs or something.
Not to mention that my school has a football game on the night of the release date. I have to go there to play in the band.
From the looks of the website, it seems as if there is one freckled pig, and he is the main character.
i think the game is gonna be TOTALLY different from AB and AA
i am agree with you @angryperson !
You know, now that I’ve read the description at the top with the thing about building a vehicle, it doesn’t seem like the game will be very fun.
I thought we had to build a building and protect the pigs.
Is it a sequel to Angry Birds?
no, it’s a new app with a completely different gameplay.
Any tips or hints by Rovio about this new game?
“It sounds like the same pick of play appeal of Angry Birds will be present in Bad Piggies, yet the game play might be more similar to Amazing Alex. “”There’s not much intense thinking required: An intuitive interface guides the player in assembling the vehicle, and if it crashes before collecting all three stars, the player is taken right back to the start screen.””
That was all in the post above :)

They also show all of the pics on the FB FanPage, so if you want to see them, you can go to their FB.
what did u mean by ”no slingshot in sight”
@lamia They probably mean that it’s completely different game-play. “No slingshot in sight” is hinting that there will be game-play nothing like the first four AB games.
Do you think the pigs have decided to steal regular eggs instead of the angry birds eggs? Why do they want the eggs anyways? If you’ve played the first angry birds game, you can destroy donuts, watermelons, peaches, and strawberries. Why don’t they eat those? There’s ham, too, but why would a pig eat ham? That’s just plain cannibalism.
I looked and saw bad piggies on the pause menu at what was about 4:20 AM central standard time. However, I am at a hotel on vacation in Europe, so that was extremely difficult to calculate. It says “Bad Piggies: a new game coming September 27”.
Then it shows the pig with freckles with a thumbs up extending from his side, the one you see on a “like” button for Facebook , except green, and at the bottom are the words “Like Bad Piggies on Facebook”. I just can’t wait!
Off Topic: The names of the birds are finally revealed in this PDF (indeed, checked by BL)!
That’s actually pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
Off Topic again: You can edit my posts?
Yes, admins have the ability to edit posts.
I can’t load it right now (3G). Does it match our list, courtesy of the amazing sleuthing of @Dr-Omega?
I believe it matches exactly.
With good reason. It’s the same document I found
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forum/discussion/comment/64168#Comment_64168
So unfortunately, no second corroboration on the names yet. :(
Thanks for this link. It took ages to download but was worth it. I read every page. It’s rather a large site considering it’s just for advertising toothbrushes and has been around for a while since it says “Upcoming Space” which of course has been out for ages now.
I so far have not bought any AB merchandise but can feel myself weakening after seeing this site – not just the toothbrushes – it shows many other items.
It means, that they’re gonna release space toothbrushes, and finally reveal the name of the ice bird.
Cool! Finally we all know the names of the birds and the pig! Thanks for sharing @lolwutburger! :)
finally! now only one question remains…what is ice bird’s name?
Pink bird is also missing!
And I was right when I said that the white bird is female.
We think we know Pink Bird’s name – I will again direct you to this the news and Rumor thread of the forums – we discussed all this about 4 days ago..
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forum/discussion/comment/64168#Comment_64168
Pink Bird’s Real Name Is Stella
Wow! You should earn a badge for that! One thing, the way they talk as if there are multiple birds. Like, more than one. I thought that there were only ONE of each bird!
I know, they appear more than once in some levels, but that probably is the same character, but returning to the slingshot. You know how it’s a game and all…
That’s exactly what I thought.
So… The white bird is a female?
I’m still very confused regarding his/her gender.
she’s female
Maybe, but what about the White Bird in Hogs and Kisses?
Is also female.
Making a female version of a character that is already female is pointless.
Let’s just say that the Female White Bird in Hogs and Kisses is the same one but with make-up.
its because she is a chicken

Rovio posted a new Bad Piggies pic!https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-i3UGAXbE1DM/UEtjiU8zRMI/AAAAAAAAwzY/987qVJBmguM/w497-h373/ab_bp_slingshot_takeover_pic_1.png
New photos! The pic from the Angry Birds facebook page has a PoV of the birds and the one from Bad Piggies page has the Pigs PoV! Only 3 weeks!
I have a theory about that.. The article from the guy who saw the game said the pigs are stranded on a deserted island.
I’ve been thinking that they really need to start distancing themselves from the Birds on Facebook and Twitter if they want the game to stand on it’s own.
So now we have Pigs sneaking their way to the Slingshot.
I think the Pigs will use the slingshot, get shot in the wrong direction or something and end up on the deserted island.
that’s my theory too
You can see the freckled pig in them. Like speculated before, there is only one.
I think the Piggies are not going to use the Slingshot, they are going to destroy it!! Becausein the Bad Piggies facebook page there is this image (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=360589027354723&set=a.356281601118799.83479.348134738600152&type=1&theater) the caption says “Soon no slingshot in sight!!”
I think they are TRYing to blow it up… But will fail spectacularly. After all, Bomb is close and he’s da bomb! He’ll stop them!!
I also think that the pigs are going to blow up the slingshot because in one of the teaser images they have lots of TNT along with the wood that they used to make the ladder thing.
They made it look stupid. Seen new pic? Pigs are, with the picture to prove, Stupid.
I think it says that because, they will get shot SO far away from there, that they wont even be able to see the slingshot
Looks like it was a prank:

LOL, looks like bomb is gonna blow
Ouch !
Now the piggies started to mess up with the birds since they made their FB & twitter account . . . >_<

New teaser!!!
Here’s the Story that i think that it will be featured in the game.
This story takes place in a island called Piggy Island, when everyone was pigs and Egg Eaters. They try everything to get their hands in those eggs of the birds, but they all those plans fail to catch the eggs. One day, a new pig has appeared in the island. However, this one was different from the other pigs. This pig has freckles.
More Coming Soon.
This story may be focus on the pig with Freckles. Don’t you guys agree with me?
I agree with you
Main character are used to be an iconic in the game like Red (Red bird’s name) on Angry Birds icon and this freckles pig will be the main character on Bad Piggies
Just like I said above,
Thanks for the comments, Bird Warrior and Dorito.
Here’s the continuation of the story.
One day after Freckled Pig arrive at Piggy Island, the Postman Pig has news for the people. Postman Pig says: “There’s a Competetion today, called Three Stars Race! Come and join today!” Freckled Pig was happy about it. The competetion is about building vehicles and collecting three stars and reaching the finish line with three stars collected.
Then the adventure begins!

There’s no need to post every link to every new teaser.
There will be many more between now and the 27th.
I appreciate the effort though ;)
like me?
and also i post a fan story that it’s gonna focus on the pig with freckles for this game. i think it’s gonna be this story.
Pigs are sometimes unintelligent.
yes. and that’s pic was the first to feature king pig in the bad piggies facebook page.
@1111dav10 when ARE pigs intelligent?
Website has updated!
This proves the theory of the pigs need to invent flying machines to get off the island. Starting to form something in my head…
Moar evidence!!1! http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/c0.0.843.403/p843x403/249763_361358467277779_880903471_n.jpg
