Bad Piggies – a new game developed by Rovio

  Last week those from Rovio announced the launch of a new title that will change the attention of users from the famous birds to the little-loved pigs. Today the company published a press release announcing that Bad Piggies will be the name of the new title to be launched in the App Store and it will give us the opportunity to play against the birds made popular by the previous games. The interesting part of this game is that it will no longer have the classic slingshot, but will introduce a new control mode, so the title promises to be very interesting.

  On September 27th we will have Bad Piggies in the App Store and then we will see everything that Rovio has thought for the millions of users who can't wait to buy the title.

Rovio to launch Bad Piggies on September 27!

Espoo, Finland- September 4, 2012 Rovio Entertainment, the creators of Angry Birds, today announced their newest game, Bad Piggies, launching September 27 for iOS, Android and Mac. This innovative game turns the franchise on its head by letting the fans play as the pigs – with all new, never-before-seen gameplay – and not a slingshot in sight!

"There's a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the Angry Birds games, and we've been constantly asked: what about the pigs' side of the story?" said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. "Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes."

The new game will launch on iOS, Android and Mac on September 27. Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions will follow shortly.

"We've had a lot of fun creating a totally new and unique gameplay experience," said Petri Järvilehto, EVP Games at Rovio. "There's so much more to these pigs than what is seen in the Angry Birds games, and Bad Piggies is the first glimpse into what's going on in the imaginative and ingenious minds of the pigs."
