Bad Piggies 2

"Unleash your creativity!"

- Tagline

Bad Piggies 2 is an upcoming game in the Angry Birds franchise and the sequel to Bad Piggies. The game was announced through ads on TikTok, which led to a GeekLab page emulating the Google Play Store, and a survey asking the viewer questions about the game, most notably what art style the game should use: the art style used in the first Bad Piggies, the art style of Angry Birds Toons, and an art style similar to the one used in the Angry Birds films and media related to them. The game is currently being developed in the Stockholm studio located in Sweden.

Development
While Bad Piggies 2 started development in 2021, an idea for a direct sequel to Bad Piggies had been proposed long beforehand. At an unknown date around 2018-2019, Angry Birds Friends background artist Maria Mustonen published concept artwork for a supposed sequel for Bad Piggies on ArtStation, under the title of "Unreleased project". The page contains a splash screen and app icon; below is a blueprint with usage unknown and artwork that seems to imply a card upgrading system similar to Angry Birds 2. The game was also apparently set in space and would feature oil and repair tools as new objects. In late 2020, this page started to get more well known in the community; in November, a fan asked Rovio if this project was in production, to which Rovio employee Jakub said that no plans had been made for Bad Piggies 2.

Many months later, on July 4, 2021, ads on video-sharing platform TikTok started appearing for what seemed to be a new Bad Piggies 2 project. Three variations of the ads exist: one using designs from many older games, a version with the art style used in Angry Birds Toons, and a version with a style similar to that of The Angry Birds Movie, though with slight alterations. Clicking on these ads would lead to a GeekLab page modeled by default after the Google Play Store (though it can be changed to different styles by changing "gp" in the URL, the other known templates being "ios," "steam" and "ag"). Similar to Angry Birds Double Crossed and Angry Birds Launch It!'s GeekLab pages, pressing "Install" (or "Get" or "Play Game", should the style be changed) led to a survey. The questions asked why the viewer clicked on the ad, their initial impressions of the game, which of the three art styles they thought looked best, and more. The survey ended up generating overwhelming support, and likely for that reason, it was closed down by July 2, 2021.

Bad Piggies 2 would next be seen in Rovio's 2021Q2 investor presentation on the eleventh page as part of the official Angry Birds lineup, sporting a brand new placeholder app icon, confirming that the game was officially in production.

A few months later, on November 9, 2021, a brand new Bad Piggies 2 ad started appearing once more, this time on Facebook, focusing more on the aspect of upgrading vehicle parts. The new ad would again be in three different styles, but The Angry Birds Movie-inspired art style was updated with a more cartoony design, while the Angry Birds Toons style was redesigned entirely, with everything besides the pigs now matching the Movie-based version of the ad. Once again, these ads lead to a GeekLab page, styled after the Play Store by default, like before, where pressing "Install" redirected to a survey.

Plot
A hungry King Pig sends the pigs, including Ross, across the world to fetch him cuisines of different cultures.

Gameplay
Bad Piggies 2 will be a puzzle game in the same vein as its predecessor. Using a set of limited parts, the player needs to build a vehicle for Ross inside of a grid. After the vehicle is made, the player must use it to play through the level. A new gimmick in Bad Piggies 2 is that there are now structures made predominantly of wood and iron in the levels, which can seemingly be destroyed with the new bulldozer blade part. Another change is that vehicle parts can now be upgraded, which will help to enhance vehicles. Additionally, the player will be able to customise the pigs with "a variety of outfits, and accessories", and the game seems to contain some form of loot crates. Bad Piggies 2 will also include a weekly league game mode, where the player goes against opponents to get better loot crate rewards.

Trivia

 * This is the third Angry Birds game to use GeekLab for surveys before its release, with the first two being Angry Birds Double Crossed and Angry Birds Launch It!.
 * While the June Angry Birds Toons and Movie-styled GeekLab pages of Bad Piggies 2, along with all of the November GeekLab pages, have been fully preserved, the classic-styled version of the June page unfortunately seems to be lost.
 * Ross' freckles only consistently appear in the first version of The Angry Birds Movie-styled version of the advertisements and GeekLab pages. In the classic-styled version, Ross oddly occasionally uses King Pig's design without a crown, while in the Angry Birds Toons and updated Movie-styled versions, he lacks freckles entirely.
 * If the style of the June 2021 GeekLab page is changed to Steam's design, Bad Piggies 2 's release date is shown to be April 21, 2021, despite the game not having any sort of release thus far. This also happens in the November 2021 page, though it instead shows that the game will release on October 21, 2021.
