Angry Birds is stretching its wings beyond mobile to other platforms

Angry Birds is coming to other platforms – but which ones?

In Rovio Entertainment’s Q3 2022 earnings release, the game developer talked about some of its upcoming games and noted that it has ten games under development.

The one that stood out was Angry Birds NEXT – a cross-platform, multiplayer game. While Rovio didn’t reveal anything else about the title (including which platforms the game would be available on), it noted that its Montreal studio is in charge of developing it.

Notably, Rovio revealed that the Montreal studio is “refocusing” its strategy to expand the franchise. To do this, they have appointed a new studio head, Andréane Meunier. Meunier has a strong background in console gaming, having worked at Ubisoft, Google Stadia, and Unity.

If the hire is anything to go by, Angry Birds NEXT will likely release on consoles. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Rovio creating a completely cross-platform game with a PC version as well.

It’s also unclear how the game will play, given that it will be multiplayer. Fans of the franchise will have to wait for Rovio to reveal more information.
