Rovio has confirmed with a Tweet that the first game in the Angry Birds Stella franchise is due out this Fall. The fall time frame isn’t new, but the fact that they have confirmed a game release is. AND THIS JUST IN they have now revealed the first ever level from the game:
I’m sure most of you will be super excited to see a slingshot! Wow! This level is gorgeous. Super colorful and looks to be full of interesting items. Like those pink blocks. It looks like Stella can target and bounce off of them. Or maybe this is showing Stella using a Power Up, as there is a silver anvil on the top left that has the lightning bolt inside. And what’s up with that Golden Frog (with tail I should add)? Is that something to collect or simply a decoration.
What else do you guys see? Let us know in the comments below.

Thanks to @iBird for sharing a link to Rovio’s blog post. A nice snippet reveals that we should expect the game in September, 2014.
You’ll first meet Stella and friends in September in a totally new game, which will have new powers to challenge even the hardened Angry Birds veterans. In November there’s a new animation series of thirteen six minute episodes which you can watch on the ToonsTV channel, TV and other video services. There will be Hasbro TELEPODS figures powered by Retoy, a series of books and all kinds of exciting stuff coming your way before the end of this year!
The names of the birds isn’t necessarily new either, but in case you haven’t seen them they are:
- Luca (blue)
- Poppy (Yellow)
- Dahlia (is that bronze / brown?)
- Willow (Blue w/ Beanie)
- Stella (Pink)
- Gale (Purple)
What do you think? Are you looking forward to playing Angry Birds Stella? Based on the level I most definitely am.

Ready for it!!!!
OMG! Great News! :D
Here’s some more info: http://www.rovio.com/en/news/blog/505/ready-to-meet-the-feisty-flock-of-angry-birds-stella-and-friends/
I’m super duper excited!!
I think we can also swap characters.
Beautiful colors!! I love slingshots!
I can’t wait. Female centered games. Yay!
Wow! I was worried that this game would be focused on really little girls (<10 yrs old). Looks like it will be fun for all of us.
Second that!! Looking forward to the release
Me too, I suppose. But for now, only the game itself looks fun. It’s likely the new stuff that’s gonna come out of this series is going to be centered at girls. Why can’t this be Bad Piggies?
@contributor — Maybe Rovio thought the old merchandise related to games wasn’t appealing enough to girls???
Yeh! I didn´t think it had the classic Angry Birds gameplay! But ti does! The pigs also look better I think
Looks like a great interesting game to play! Looking forward to it. I bet this game will be played by more girls than guys…..kinda like with Candy Crush Saga where its more for girls but guys plays it too.
Loved it! Looking forward!

”Fans will first meet Stella and her friends in an all-new game coming in September. This first title will take slingshot gameplay to unseen heights – the treetops of Golden Island in fact, where Stella and her friends live! Stella and her fearless friends, each with their own awesome powers, do battle with Gale and her pig servants. With a new line of TELEPODS and other exciting gameplay features, Angry Birds Stella is going to challenge even the most experienced bird flingers!”
@Josm — How is Gale an enemy with pig servants??? She’s supposed to be one of the BFF.
Gale is an enymy because in her teaser sketch image, she was lookin’ Stella angrily. And it was written ‘Bad Princess’ in it.
@mvnla2, according to Rovio’s post, “There’s also Gale, a good bird gone bad, who wants to rule over the birds’ island habitat…”
So, looks like there might be a traitor amongst Stella’s friends, with bad intentions.

Looks good. Can’t wait
I also noticed there is no distinction between “pure” and telepod scores, maybe that will change in the next few months. They did it in absw, they should be able to do it here also.
Maybe they simply don’t display them at the same time, like with Space?
@rizdub
Yes that is possible. But was hoping they would have shown both in the actual levels like in star wars , the first one. I was hoping that all the positive feed back of how they did it in that ver that it would carry over in future games. absw2 may have come out too soon to impliment it there.
I wonder what the Bird Coins will be used for, and what kind of Powerups there will be…?
“The first game in the Angry Birds Stella series”
Is Rovio implying that there will be more than one AB Stella game?
yes
1st: An AB Stella series must not necessarily be a series of games.
2nd: a game is not the same as an app. Even if there were more than one AB Stella games, don’t forget that there are also card games or Telepod games.
I personally doubt that there will be more than one AB Stella app. What for? They can just update the ptevious app instead of making a new app.
Yeah, but they could’ve done that with the classic AB with Seasons and Rio, but no. Maybe they are will be different themes?
Look’n good and hope this game develops into a whole new series of games. As stated above the colors and background look great!!!!
Can’t wait! I didn’t know there would be a series of games for Angry Birds Stella. Love the colors, the pigs, and the new slingshot. :D
I am pleasantly surprised with this reveal. Glad that Rovio has decided to continue with the classic fling-birds-off-slingshots-to-knock-down-structures gameplay with the release of ABStella, and the attention to detail is amazing, with a hint towards the style of ABSWII. The new pink blocks are intriguing, and it seems to be able to function similarly to bouncers seen across other games. Looking forward to a promising series ahead!
P.S. Rovio, pls don’t forget ABSeasons. Pls?
Omega X
This looks very interesting, just based on the screen shot!! At the very least, it’s a change from what we have been used to! Look forward to the release!!
In Facebook, it has been confirmed that there will be a new cartoon series of them! That is why Rovio teased us with charecter drawings. But I don’t know if their house concept art will be used in the game as their real housee in which we have to play with them as ‘dolls with dollhouses’ and they will give us free coins or a power-up. And today is 5th June in India. I wish they released the update of ABSpace when there will be 5th June in their country.
Golden Island loolk like Naboo. Can’t wait…
This might have a connection to this one:

The “Rovio releases new characters” idea?
Actually, that teaser was mainly about this new game. It’s already been announced some time ago.
Just a question, do you think that Stella will keep her old powers from the previous AB Games?
No. Maybe something with bubbles, but in a different way.
@theangrybird @chriss According to Agrybirds.com she has a move called “pink flash”. You can see all the other characters moves there as well
It looks like the golden frog takes you to a bonus level.
Found this on Pinterest, an early concept art for Stella’s house:
