After conquering Halloween and Christmas, the Angry birds are back, and this time, they are off to Rio. The folks at Rovio are teaming up with 20th Century Fox to promote their next animated Feature, Rio. Here's the press release, and the teaser trailer for the new game.
ANGRY BIRDS, Rovio's blockbuster smart phone and tablet game that has become a global cultural sensation, and RIO, one of the year's most anticipated motion picture events, are joining forces to create a new game, ANGRY BIRDS RIO – representing a first-of-its-kind game development partnership between Rovio and Twentieth Century Fox. The announcement was made today by Mikael Hed, CEO at Rovio Mobile, which created ANGRY BIRDS, and Peter Levinsohn, president of new media and digital distribution for Twentieth Century Fox, which releases RIO in theaters worldwide on April 15.
This unique spin-off of ANGRY BIRDS will take flight around the world in March, coinciding with RIO's gala world premiere event. To celebrate the partnership and give fans a sneak preview of the story surrounding ANGRY BIRDS RIO, Rovio and Fox have posted a video (view below!)
"ANGRY BIRDS RIO is a match made in heaven for a mobile application and a major motion picture, and this collaboration with Fox is definitely one the most exciting partnerships we have entered into with the ANGRY BIRDS brand to date," said Mr. Hed. "In addition to expanding the horizons of two fantastic entertainment brands and creating a great new gaming experience, we have also taken the concept of combining a mobile application and motion picture promotion to an entirely new level."
"In partnering with Rovio, we are combining the world's hottest application developer with one of the motion picture industry's premier creative forces to introduce the millions of fans of ANGRY BIRDS to the exciting world of RIO," said Mr. Levinsohn. "Our relationship with Rovio is another great example of Fox Digital Entertainment's continuing work to extend our content to a variety of digital platforms."
In ANGRY BIRDS RIO, the original Angry Birds are kidnapped and taken to the magical city of Rio, where they eventually escape their captors and set out to save their friends, Blu and Jewel – two rare macaws and the stars of the upcoming Fox motion picture, RIO. Like the incredibly-popular original edition, ANGRY BIRDS RIO will feature hours of gameplay, physics-based demolition challenges and loads of replay value – all with unique twists based on the highly-anticipated film.
ANGRY BIRDS RIO will launch with 45 dedicated levels and will regularly add new levels via app updates. The game will be available for download on smart phones and tablets worldwide.
