That’s the most likely factor hurting the “business case” for Rovio’s apps going forward. It’s a bummer to see Rovio is pulling its original hit game for Android and will make it harder to find for iOS users with these changes.įrom what it sounds like, more (or enough) people may be playing the classic which does not have in-app purchases like Angry Birds 2, Journey, Blast, and Friends. That’s presumably to prevent it from showing up when players search for Angry Birds and compete with Angry Birds 2 and the other recent releases. Interestingly, while the Android version of Rovio Classics Angry Birds is definitely going away on 2/23/23, the iOS version is a bit more up in the air with a rename to “Red’s First Flight” possibly coming soon.
We hope those fans can continue to bring that passion to our live Angry Birds slingshot games such as Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Friends, and Angry Birds Journey, where our goal every day is to craft the best possible experience for players. We are extremely grateful to the Angry Birds fans who have shown their love of the brand and this game from the beginning.
We understand that this is sad news for many fans, as well as the team that has worked hard to make Rovio Classics: Angry Birds a reality. Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will remain playable on devices on which the game has been downloaded, even after it has been unlisted. Additionally, the game will be renamed to Red’s First Flight in the App Store pending further review. We have reviewed the business case of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, and due to the game’s impact on our wider games portfolio, we have decided that Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will be unlisted from the Google Play Store on Thursday, February 23. Rovio shared two paragraphs on Twitter about the change to push players toward Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Friends, and Angry Birds Journey, etc.: Why is Rovio renaming/pulling Angry Birds Classics? Fortunately, it looks like the Apple Arcade version is safe for the time being. According to the company, the original title is hurting the viability of Angry Birds 2 and the other modern Angry Birds releases. In an interesting announcement today, game developer Rovio shared that it’s renaming and/or pulling its Rovio Classics: Angry Birds on the App Store and Google Play Store.
