Just yesterday, Rovio released their long-awaited official statement regarding the gameplay of Angry Birds Space, which will be arriving on iOS, Android, PC and Mac on March 22nd. (Be sure to check out that post since it contains a bunch of information about the goings-on in space.) Over the next week, Rovio and Samsung will be releasing “Introductory Videos” feature the birds from Angry Birds Space. These videos can be seen as they come online on the official space.angrybirds.com webpage.
Be sure to check back over the coming days to see all the goodies that Rovio has to offer. As a quick disclaimer, any names appearing in quotes are just placeholders for the time being. As the videos are released, the bird names will be finalized. Thanks to @jake for tipping us off about the early release.
Update: On March 14th, “The Daily” published an “Angry Birds Space Guide” app for iOS. It appears to be free, but we are not aware of any other ports at this time. The app itself is rather interesting, featuring behind-the-scenes videos at Rovio HQ. Also within the article is the official bird and pig names. They have been updated below as applicable. (Note: There is a little discrepancy within the video itself, so these names are still subject to change by March 22nd.) We manually note that the super ginormous pig within the “Cold Cuts” world seems to be named “Fat Pig”.
If you just can’t get enough of Angry Birds Space? Check out these other fine articles, each containing some awesome tidbits about what is to come:

- Massive Angry Birds Space Background Set

Lazer Bird — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Lazer Bird may remind you a bit of the Yellow bird, but he’s got “Super Vision”. After launching, trigger his “Super Power Strike” by tapping anywhere on the screen to redirect him. You will see crosshairs on the screen where you tapped and the Lazer Bird will turn and immediately accelerate toward the target. Hope you have good aim!
Red Bird — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Red Bird has received an upgrade from the three original apps. When the Red Bird emerged from the wormhole, he wears an “Über Mask”, which allows him to utilize the “Sling Scope” trajectory display. With this power, the Red Bird can plan his path to cause maximum destruction to the piggies’ space fortresses.
Terence (Big Brother) — Grab the Wallpaper!
Everyone’s favorite Big Brother, Terence, is back and madder than ever. Unlike the Red Bird and Lazer Bird, Terence hasn’t changed much. He’s still bulbous and can destroy large structures in a single bound fling. Before his journey into space Terence ate some bad bird seed, so he’s feeling a bit green. Okay, that’s a joke… but he is green.
Blue Birds — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Blue Birds have arrived in space, and their “conservation of mass”-defying tripling will now be tested in zero gravity and extremely cold temperatures. Based on gameplay footage, it even appears that the Blue Birds get a speed burst upon tripling, making them the perfect destructive means against any icy space junk.
Bomb — Grab the Wallpaper!
Bomb is extremely temperamental, and has a very very short fuse. Besides a slight name change and a superhero wardrobe, Bomb seems to be just as powerful as ever. Can bombs explode without air? Apparently, so random explosive space TNT beware!
Ice Bird — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Ice Bird is a completely new bird, the likes of which Earth has never seen. He recruited the Angry Birds to help recapture the “Eggsteroid”, which is where we will begin on the 22nd. The Ice Bird will freeze anything he touches, so pairing him with the Blue Birds is ideal.
Anybody else find it ironic that Terrance is green and his video was released on Saint Patricks Day?
I find it ironic
Me too. Because the St. Patrick’s Day Colors are green and gold.
I find it ironic too,agree with stink_boy11 St. Patrick day color are green and gold
Looks like they are uploading the video of those birds as a symbol to the countdown to March 22
yeah
If there were 8 birds, what will you call the other 2 and what are their abilities?
At this time, it doesn’t look like the other birds will be in AB:Space. Perhaps down the road, but not right now. I would be interested in their abilities though.
that is so cool !
SPACE EGGS!!! hahaha
What space eggs?
and where did you see them?
Marvel+angry birds=angry birds space. That lazer birds is just like Cyclop of X-men, reds mask looks like wolverines and terence is hulk. Its funny!
You’re right! The blue bird looks like Captain America!
hey slim blue birds vedio released here
Blue birds video now available https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDv6mWQgiDM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I think it’s the best video of that all 4 birds,what are released!;]:)
Haha,You’re right,that blue bird video has some awesome destruction and explosion,LOL :)
That explosion may be caused by tnt placed directly behind the pile of ice…not really caused by the blue bird….
Blue bird get a little of yellow bird original power….
Pause the blue bird’s video at 0:07 to see the TNT behind the ice. You can see it better in fullscreen mode.
Me 2!
I was gonna say that… :-(
Never mind. Let’s Watch!
I wait for my favourite bird KA-BOOM video presentation!!!:):):)
KA-BOOM!
Yeeh,da best!;D:D:)
I was rather waiting for the ice bird. Look at the way it turns things into ice!
Yes…ice bird is a new addition to angry birds…i also can’t wait to see it in action….
Maybe ice bird could accidentally crash to earth and join the original angry birds crew….haha..
So if the note to Ice bird is correct, frozen is not enough? You would then need blue birds to blast the ice?
does the frozen pigs count
It appears that frozen pigs will eventually drift into something and pop, but you don’t earn the 5k until they pop
thanks
Bomb explodes intro video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc5SKu1Ao0M
He’s not looks angry!:D
Updated. Thanks guys.
Wow! 2 Videos in 1 day!
Only the Ice Bird video again.
Wait where’s the Boomerang bird?
As far as we have seen, these are the only six birds in AB:Space…. At least for now.
Heh
And White are not there!:(
I hope there two will be soon!!!:)
The Boomerang Bird doesn’t have to be in this game, the Lazer Bird can go in any direction you want him to.
So the Black bird does have a tail!
:0
Wow two in one day.
little bit off topic: i just wanted to install the app of daily for ios and it requires ios4.3 (which i dont have cuz i d have to re jailbreak after updating ios…)
but do you think (know) if abspace will also require ios 4.3 or higher. cause this would be a reason for updating ;)
I asked Rovio and they said they would try to announce OS requirements closer to launch. I can’t guarantee, but I think they are hoping for the same OS requirements as the other apps.
You shouldn’t jailbreak anyways
Why not? It’s a user’s choice if he/she wants to. Frankly, without jailbreaking, we wouldn’t have any videos here.
Bomb looks vain at the end of the bomb bird video.
Is it just me, or doe’s Bomb look smug at the end of the video?
He is “Da Bomb” tho ;)
Nice one!
RedBirdsBrother, that’s basically kind of what I said above your comment. But yes, he does look smug.
Sorry, I don’t mean the “nice one” comment. I mean the Bomb being smug one.
There all out except frosh!
Where’d the videos come from?
Rovio’s YouTube
Last 1 bird and they are shown :D
slim why did you removed the lazer Samsung video
I didnt, but it was not entirely necessary. Keeping the whole set consistent looks nice from our point of view.
right
I like the last pose of the black bird…gonna make a wallpaper of it…
Chrome is updated, added cherry blossom and gave new look.
Yes, known for a while now.

Welcome Frosh!
Nice vid.:)
great work iamMighty
HEY!
Check this out:
{link removed}
We just added this above. Thanks.
Yeah…all is complete…juz waiting for the game now…22 March…
My predictions are less reliable than a ouija board, but… All bird videos are out, and it’s 3/19. 3/20 the National Geographic ABOS book is released. What happens 3/21??? Could be an early release?? If not, how about announcement of Mighty Eagle or equivalent in space?
3/21 is a video on Nickelodeon I believe.
Darn — Not sure if we even get Nickelodeon. I really want ME in space.
I bet it’s another one of those shorts in which credits take up half of the time(remember the Wreck the Halls animation?).
Also when Android’s Daily Space app is released :)
Yeeah!!:)) I CAN’T WAIT FOR AB SPACEEEEE!!!:)) :):):)
@Kartflyer Android’s Daily Space Guide will be out on 3/21.
Exactly.
Can you guys make a post about The space origins being on nick?
Not a whole lot of information to use.
Oh great, they’re going to play the space origins during spongebob. IMO, spongebob should be rated PG. Too much violence and name-calling for younger kids.
Yeah. And too many disturbing scenes.
Way too many. I mean, how can they let nudity pass in a show with a TV-Y7 rating?
Thank goodness that they’re playing the more appropriate episodes during the space origins.
SpongeBob? Are you serious? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it!
i cant think of one thing bad about spongebob!
Speaking of spongebob I luv spongebob even though its really bad now episodes werent dat funny as they used 2 b and the ABSW cinematic trailer was really funny but I’m not sure if kids should c it there’s sorta drunk birds and gambling
@hog-popper Me neither! I love SpongeBob…
