(Pocket-lint) – Angry Birds, one of the first hugely popular mobile games, is back.
Rovio, the company behind the game, has announced the return of the original Angry Birds. It’s now available in app stores with a new engine and no in-app purchases. It’s completely rebuilt with the Unity engine, with a more seamless experience across devices and platforms. But otherwise nothing has changed; The original Angry Birds game has been retained in this new version.
“While rebuilding Angry Birds, we took great care to preserve the feel of the original Angry Birds game,” Rovio executive producer Sami Ronkainen said in a press release. “We know our fans are a discerning bunch and can spot even small differences. Matching the gameplay and look of the game to the original was crucial.”
Rovio has removed the first Angry Birds game of 2019 from the App Store due to compatibility issues. The new remaster is called Rovio Classics: Angry Birds and is based on the 2012 version of the game. Unlike other Angry Birds games and spinoffs, it’s not a freemium title with paid add-on content. In other words, there are no in-app purchases or ads. Instead, it costs $0.99 in the US.
Rovio Classics: Angry Birds is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
Keep in mind that it’s different from Rovio’s Angry Birds Reloaded game. This game is exclusive to Apple Arcade and although it’s also a remaster of the original game, it has new characters and additional levels.
