Last night I told you that the developers of the game Doodle Jump will collaborate with Universal Studios to include some characters from the film Hop in an update of the popular game. Those from Rovio have ENDED a similar contract with the production house 20th Century Fox, but Rovio will not only include a character in their game, but they will make an entire game dedicated to the film Rio, which the production house will release in April. The story of the film centers on 2 birds from Rio de Janeiro who are kidnapped and have to fight the poachers who try to sell them. The film centers on the characters Blu and Jewel, around whom the next version of Angry Birds Rio will probably be built.
Angry Birds Rio will be available in March for smartphones and tablets, it will have 45 levels to begin with and others will be added along the way. The price of the game is not yet known, but Rovio preferred to keep prices low for its games, so we are probably talking about €0.79 for the version intended for iPhone/iPod Touches.
HELSINKI & LOS ANGELES – January 28, 2011 – 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.
