The time is fast approaching! With Angry Birds Star Wars II being released in 9 days (on September 19th), Rovio is looking to dish out some last-minute love to its existing apps. What better place than in the original Angry Birds game!
The v3.2.0 release of Red’s Mighty Feathers was met with — well, let’s call it mixed reviews. According to our poll, about half of the Nest thought the gameplay was a bit too different to satisfy your Angry Birds cravings. But no matter… Coming next week will be an update to Red’s Mighty Feathers featuring classic-style gameplay!
There are a few questions surrounding this update. And there’s actually a few answers, based solely on the image that Rovio teased above.
Q: Is it more “Egg-Defender Mode”? A: No, classic pig-popping gameplay will return, featuring most-if-not-all of your favorite feathered friends. Big Brother and the Black Bird appear in the top screenshot in the teaser.
Q: Will Red Bird still have his “homing” ability? A: Yes, it appears he will. Look closely at the bottom-right screenshot to see the Red Bird being redirected backwards. With some many pigs on-screen, the better question is if “homing” will be manually directed by the flinger, similar to the Lazer Bird in Angry Birds Space.
Q: Will Red Bird’s “homing” ability be retroactive to all levels? A: No, we don’t think so. In the initial release, Rovio made it quite clear that they didn’t want to disrupt the gameplay of previously-released levels.
Q: Will I have to pass the 15 “Egg-Defender” levels to play the new ones? A: We don’t know… yet. My guess would be yes, because levels unlock sequentially. Passing those 15 levels would be a small price to pay for this free update. But while you’re at it, our 3-star walkthroughs are there to help you, along with some tricks and tips from the pros!
Q: When exactly will this update land for my platform? A: Of course, we don’t know ;)
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, because who knows what else Rovio has in store for us before Star Wars II is released! Return of the Jedi? Angry Birds Space? Hrm….
