We were the first to announce that a new Angry Birds Seasons update was on the horizon. Well, the morning mist has lifted and on the horizon we see a strange new substance? Water!!! We are happy to report that the latest Angry Birds Seasons update, named Piglantis (v2.4.0) is now available for iOS, PC, Mac, Playbook, and Android via Google Play (Android Market) and the Amazon Appstore! As you might expect, things are a bit different in this aquatic paradise. We’ve outlined what we know so far below:
Update for iOS: A bug fix has been released as v2.4.1.
- 30, yes 30, new aquatic levels! If we are looking for an actual “Seasons” theme, I would have to say it’s Summer again. Contrary to some guesses, all 30 levels are available right now (in other words, it’s not Advent-style). Our walkthrough videos are live.
- Golden Eggs! One Golden Egg hidden in-game, and the 3-star bonus this time around is a Big Seashell! If you need help, check out our Complete Angry Birds Seasons Golden Eggs Guide.
- Buoyancy! In the wide-open sea, you can now shoot in and out of water! The birds are buoyant enough that they will be pulled back to the surface of the water, as are wooden blocks and sardine cans. However, those bad piggies, stone blocks, and even ice/glass blocks are a bit too heavy and sink to the ocean floor. The poor piggies go pop when they hit the floor.
- No new achievements for iOS. This is expected, since there is really no space for Seasons achievements points.
- Pro Tip! Treasure chests are worth 1,000 points, but they are quite challenging to break.
- Amazing Alex, which we have more info on here, has made it’s way into Angry Birds. If you tap the icon it will take you to the Amazing Alex Facebook page.

We will continue to update this post as we learn more, and as the update lands on more platforms.
Great new levels and type of gameplay, but I was really hoping as I opened the Android app after the update that the Mighty Eagle would be waiting to be purchased. #tryingnottobegreedy
Well one thing I figured out after trying and trying–Yellow Bird will power up while IN the water. It took me forever to 3 star the very first level until I realized that little tidbit. I don’t know if that has been mentioned yet in the comments.
Yep I just saw that somebody else mentioned the power up. And I’m doing this while trying to look busy at work. Shame on me :)
I think employers have given up on their employees WORKING as long as the work gets done on time.
Thanks, that’s a good bit of info. Downloading the update onto my iPad now. Can’t wait to see what it looks like.
finally all this wait was better than i expected! 8 new things on angry birds at only 20 days and plenty more coming!
Amazon Update out :)
Yay! Finally can update my avatar ;D
I actually hoped this episode to be calender-based, like WtH and SP. But I guess 30 levels is better than nothing! :)
These levels are awesome… and challenging
Correct. The hardest levels for me were 1-12 and 2-10.
OMG. I love the water interaction. Great fun ahead
Very fun gameplay. It takes a little getting used to!
Played the first few levels and what a great concept. Provides a new dimension to AB. The water provides another environment to challenge us in the traditional theme of birds and pigs. The ME also seems to be back. First game, one launch at the post and wow 100%. This is going to be fun.
when i played the first level i thought it would be really hard because of level one’s dificuty, but after i thought piglantis is amazingly fun
The pigs look kinda different in appearance.
Has anyone figured out what happens if you send a WB underwater? There was one level on which I thought it might be useful, but I kept detonating too early? What about the green bird? OB, red, and bomb all work well underwater, but you have to figure out where to aim them so they come up in the right place.
Just realized that this would be a great new tutorial for Slim to make, when he has time ; )
Maybe in a bit. BTW, thank you for your minimum hunting so far. As far as I can tell, I’m up-to-date on everyone’s submissions. I have removed all previous 3-star estimates from the comments.
White bird operates as usual – egg seems to go straight down and bird goes off on the usual angle. There are a few levels where you can use it.
2-10 is one of them – I’ll find the others I’ve seen.
You can use the white bird’s power in 2-4 also, although it really doesn’t get you anything.
But it can be used to get the golden egg.
Check this walkthrough:

Boomerang bird is the coolest underwater. Best in 2-3.
I bet the PC update will come before Mac and/or Playbook :).
Hopefully they all will update soon. I’ve played a few levels on my brother’s ipod touch, and I love the buoyancy concept so much. What I love is that even I shoot the birds into the water, as long as they don’t touch the obstacles, their powers are still there :).
I second that! The only reason that i bet on it, because 90% chance that Rovio will release PC update after Android and iOS :).
It is almost always like that, isn’t it? Cant wait for the update.
they always forgot Mac! First they make update for iOS, one day late for Android, 3 days later for PC, and 2 weeks later for Mac!
They don’t forget anyone.
Symbian?
Yep, i guess they do forget Symbian, because Symbian haven’t ABSp yet, no Trophy room, and no Surf’n’Turf.
Space is not a correct argument. Rovio specifically said that Symbian was not on the initial Space release and gave no promises it would ever land there.
I can accept no Space on symbian, but can’t accept no update.
I think i need change to PC.
Surprised they never updated the visuals and menus to resemble ABO.
I’m glad though; I think the older is much better, and I’m still sad they got rid of the victory music in ABO.
Me too
Me too
It’s just not the same without the victory music.
I hope it will come to Pc fast
Agreed! The usual time is around 3 days, right?
Nevermind; I just looked at the update log and saw that my guess was completely wrong!
6 days?
Why 6 days???
Is it good enough to make a new game based purely on it or are we going to see it in future versions of angry birds original and Angry birds rio and ABS.Also do they go fully underwater in any of these levels?
No, no levels are completely underwater.
Spelling error.
“The poor piggies go pop when the hit the floor.”
May be wrong, but shouldn’t it be *they?
Thanks it’s fixed.
I thought this would be awesome after Level 1 – but after that, it’s mostly just the same and there isn’t much need to use the water at all – most of it is just like any other AB level and doesn’t require the need to use the underwater-ness at all.
It you’re opinion, I respect that.
I think this update is one of the best Rovio has ever released.
A lot of work was put in.
Why Piglantis included in Season edition, and not in the Classic? In the Classic version has a cave, this topic is more suitable place
Maybe because ABo has S&T?
Because Rovio wanted it for Angry Birds Seasons. It is a themed summer season update.
I completely agree. Of course this is a summer episode, and as such it could be included to AB Seasons. But there is absolutely no relation between summer and Atlantis. That’s why Atlantis fits only for AB original and not for AB Seasons. Atlantis is neither a season nor a holiday nor something that is celebrated.
Okay, now I see a relation between Piglantis and summer. Piglantis is the destination where the birds vacation this summer. But you can only see this relation if you watch Rovio’s video or see the photos on Rovio’s facebook page. Within the game it’s not so clear. And nevertheless it is not a typical “seasons” episode.
This game is ridiculously AWESOME! Who knows water physics could be on the next planet of ABsP
I Think no!I think that in AbS will not be more planets!Only new 20 levels in Utopia,and some GE i think!;)
I would like to see floating water in space.
The new update is very challenging. Adding water to the picture is a completely new dynamic to take advantage.
I’m just annoyed at the angelic voices heard while you play the level. I don’t understand why I hear those.
I think those are mermaids.
@nanami Yes, they’re mermaids.
The Sirens!
Best update since hamoween came out.
:)
Mighty Eagle walkthroughs???
Really? That little patience?
Well I’ve already 3-starred all the levels.
Well I’ve already 3-starred all the levels. BTW you sure do reply fast.
The magic word is “please”!
Not even that. Geez, give us a little time. We worked like dogs yesterday getting all the 3-star posts and vids. I didn’t even start obtaining feathers until late last night.
Min, now i feel like a jerk. Sorry.
It’s a pretty thankless job heh slim. ( my isp fixed my problem btw )
I love this one! The mer-pig (?) is so cute
Is there a reason for the PC version to release so late?
“So late”? It’s been 24h
I mean for other updates
when angry bird season v2.4 release for symbian?
We don’t know. Rovio does not release this kind of information.
:( … Anyone not receive the update yet? I’m in Illinois & haven’t gotten the update … it shows in Google when I go looking for the game as if I haven’t installed it but when I go to my apps it doesn’t show update available but the graphic has changed to Piglantis … Anyone else having this problem? Or any ideas on how to fix?
Best bet is to restart your device and try again. There’s no regional blocks in the US.
& another weird thing – when I open seasons & pause a level it shows the Piglantis update so I clicked on it – it took me to Google Play Store & shows Open app – doesn’t give me anyway to update, just takes me back to seasons… Help
I did a restart – no luck – I guess I’ll have to be patient… could it be a carrier thing? I have Verizon
I haven’t heard any issues. May want to contact Rovio directly, or move the app between SD and phone.
THANK YOU! Moving it from SD back to phone worked getting the update now!
I must say everyone on this site is very helpful & I greatly appreciate it! Again THANK YOU AMslimfordy!
Anyone else having problems with the Amazon App Store on Android? It shows that Piglantis is available but I can’t seem to force the app store to update.
I have spent the last 15 minutes trying to get my Kindle Fire to update the app but I can’t get the new levels either. Even the Amazon description says Piglantis is available but my Fire doesnt find an update. Let me know if you get it to work! Can’t wait to play it!
For the Amazon update, you need a wifi connection. This is standard for Amazon for any package greater than 20 Mbytes in size. It won’t let you download on a 3G/4G connection.
@G-Unit. I am having terrible trouble with amazon app store..they ssaid I had space update. didny say what and I updated. .lost all dz
.I am very afraid to even try seasons update:))(
Will you guys put the video Rovio made for Piglantis on this page as well?
