“Stop jumping!”
Fresh on the heels of the “They’re coming…” teaser image, Rovio has announced that “Angry Birds Space” is set to blast off on March 22nd, 2012. This is not an update, but rather, it’s a completely new version of Angry Birds. Rovio’s lunar outpost for this epic launch is: space.angrybirds.com.
This will be Rovio’s fourth paid version of Angry Birds and the first to deviate from the traditional physics we all know so well. That said, this Summer Pignic Golden Egg level might give us a small glimpse as to what to expect; however, I’m sure the physics have been much refined and improved since then.
It looks like Yahoo scored an exclusive on this one, as they have an article with some details. You can also find some official details in Rovio’s press kit. Said details are a bit vague, but below are some highlights:
- You will be flinging birds on alien planets while contending with zero gravity. This opens up new gameplay elements like slow-motion puzzles and “lightspeed” destruction.”
- Angry Birds Space will include new birds alongside familiar ones, sporting new super powers.
- The three star rating system will remain.
- Both NASA and National Geographic are launch partners.
- On March 22nd Rovio will simultaneously launch in mobile gaming channels, retail, and an animation channel. Rovio states this is the first time this has ever been done for a mobile game. (See updates below for more info.)
Well, there you have it. Please let us know your thoughts. We will keep this page updated as more details are released in the coming weeks. Yay!
Updates!
Feb. 22nd, 2012 – Thanks to these awesome Angry Birds Space stickers (above) on we’ve got our first glimpse at some of the revamped birds and pigs in Angry Birds Space. I don’t know about you guys, but these look awesome! We were asked to take the stickers down.
Feb. 23rd, 2012 – New authentic footage from Rovio’s personal space exploration reveals a giant slingshot on the moon. While the video doesn’t say much (watch on YouTube), it does reveal that information will be revealed on March 8th.
Feb. 25th, 2012 – Rovio has confirmed that the March 22nd release date applies to iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. (We guess PC means the standalone version from Rovio’s site, and Android means both Market and Amazon, but this is just our guess.)
Feb. 27th, 2012 – Houston, we have a slingshot. The latest video (above) says that Angry Birds Space will be “launching with the Samsung Galaxy Note”. (Remember the Advent Challenge?) Not entirely sure what this means though, since the Note was released some months ago. Any ideas?
Mar. 5th, 2012 – The third teaser has been released. It seems like the pigs will indeed be making their appearance in AB:Space.
Mar. 8th, 2012 – The big day has arrived! Check out our in-depth post about Rovio’s announcement.
The site may have ideas to the plot
Has anyone found photos of the new ABS t-shirts that are being given out?
@BL — Surely you got one today?
Unfortunately, I didn’t get one, but would like one.
There is a photo of one t-shirt on the ABS van Flicker stream. Don’t know if there is more than one. It is the same bird as is on the driver’s door of the van. It’s a red bird with a very interesting effect around the eyes, perhaps looking out from a black helmet that can’t be seen against the black t-shirt background? The van tour is being quite secretive about exactly where and when they will show up. 10 am in Hollywood??? I’m certainly not going to drive around Hollywood hoping that I find them. Grr!
Don’t these pigs ever give up!
Can’t the pigs just go to the grocery store and get some eggs? What did the birds ever do to the pigs that they would want to steal their eggs?
Don’t be so ANGRY little birds~
(Angry Birds Peace Song)
The Christmas was over… = =
I love the third teaser and the pigs will be in Angry Birds Space! :)
I was so stuck on cherry blossom I didn’t notice this until I saw it on google images!
FYI to anyone hoping to intersect the AB Space Tour van — they give ~15 min notice of where they will be, and no route info between stops. For example, they left Graumans in Hollywood at 11 am, and didn’t give location until 3 pm. It is another 6 hr drive from LA to Phoenix (ignoring evening LA traffic, probably), and 12 hrs from Tucson to San Antonio, so I suspect there may be an error in their listed dates for San Antonio and Austin. Good Luck catching them!
Why is ABS van going to spend 4!!! days in Austin? Anyone have an idea? I could understand spending a whole day at Johnson Space Flight Center, but that’s in Huston.
I may have part of the answer:
3/9 They will get to San Antonio noonish (I don’t think they are going to pull an all-nighter, at least I hope not).
3/10 They will spend the morning in San Antonio, and then drive to the Johnson Space Center, which is between San Antonio and Austin, if you have to visit it, which I think they must.
3/11 They will be at Johnson Space Center
3/12 They will be in Austin, but that still seems to leave an extra day???
Dallas to Roswell is 8 hrs, but then I can’t imaging they would spend much time in Roswell??
So are they wimping out and flying home for one or more of the days listed for Austin?
So aren’t they supposed to release more details today?
Tomorrow: “We’ll be broadcasting globally online on March 8th at 10 AM New York time (EST). The announcement is going to be out-of-this-world, so make sure to tune in to angrybirds.com/space! That’s 10 AM in New York, so 7 AM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in London, 11 PM Shanghai time…”
Thanks!
I think you may need to add this on your post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=x-adkzqqexI#!
Noted in the 23 Feb update in the main post.
At the expense of my own work, the post is now live.
We can’t thank you enough Slim. ;-)
All posts since this morning have been moved to the new page. All threads appear to be intact.
Only 12 days to go!
Very exciting!
Cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I have enjoyed the original Angry Bird.. I never bought it.
Again I downloaded FREE version of Angry Bird Space, but after 2 hours of playing it.. I caved in and bought one.
The game was a keeper!
Which platform do you use? iOS or Android? Since there is only one free version…the Google Play one from Android.
Some may view this comment as being a little late, but I have not seen been to this post and seen the 3 Teasers and Discovery videos.
The music/sound in the Teasers is outstanding. The dialogue in the Discovery is just pure creativity and adaption of history to present day. Nice job Rovio.
A few of your posts today are a bit late ;-)
I am taking the time to review the subject areas that the ABN staff have written and compiled.
Being new to ABN there is a desire to read about subjects that were previously developed and the information that was presented in a objective helpful manner to the players.
If you do not want me to review the postings that are listed on the main page or if I am doing something that should not be completed or doing something incorrectly, please advise.
If your concern are comments, I do not think they are spam but I am not the judge of that. They are objective positive observations of what is of value in each site. For those that have recently come into the ABN the majority of the previous postings are enlightening as well as informative.
My actions are nothing more than reading, learning and understanding. I try to make a comment to encourage all who are new, like me, to bring up the site and they too may find something of informative value.
My goal is to review all 20 plus pages that are listed on the title page. Curiosity sometimes is hard to manage and satisfy.
Please advise if I am doing something wrong.
Also, I do not know what the symbol at the end of the sentence means.
It’s a winking face turned sideways :) (like this one being a smiling face)
Oh, now I get it, had to look sideways to understand the one eye closed.
Sorry, I do appear ignorant on certain issues. Gets one to laugh at oneself.
I have learned to overcome the inhibition of not asking questions because I may look stupid to some.
By contrast, I will be stupid for not asking the question.
Thanks Kartflyer. Now I have to try to rememeber the reason. The next challenge for the memory formed in the manner of “swiss cheese”.
You have an interesting style @wrw01, no harm meant and you are not doing anything wrong. :D (smiley)
Thank you sal9.
You changed it up on me.
What does the symbol :D mean.
Is there a book or paper written on these items to be placed at the end of sentences?
The symbol is a smiling face. :)
So “:)” and “:D” mean the same thing?
If so, is there a reason why?
:D is a bigger smile, wouldn’t you say?
Here you’ll find some more information about emoticons: http://www.sharpened.net/emoticons/
Thank you sal9
I have printed them out as we speak/type.
What is mind bending about these is that there are 6 different versions of the symbols and yes, some are the same but some are different.
Emoticons, AIM Instant Messenger Shortcuts, Yahoo! Instant Messenger, Micro Live Messenger, ICQ, and Google Gmail. Just amazing…
