Rovio Classics: Angry Birds

The re-release of Angry Birds is a upcoming game slated to release in early 2022. It will be a remake of the original game on a different game engine (From Box2D to Unity). It will share the same Chrome graphics as the game did originally before being taken off the App Stores for "testing purposes" back in 2019.

History
On June 22, 2021, the Rovio posted a blog on their website and a tweet announcing that they would be remaking some highly-desired delisted Angry Birds games, such as Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons, as a response to the infamous "#BringBack2012" movement in the Angry Birds community in which fans wanted to see a "return to form" for the series and for the delisted older games to be put back up on app stores. Not many details were made clear about the project and what games would get remade until on November 23, when they posted their first "Dev Diary" explaining that the company will remake the original Angry Birds in early 2022, and opened a Q&A on Twitter, allowing fans to ask questions about the project with the #BringBack2012 hashtag. A month later on December 22, they posted another Dev Diary answering some of the questions fans sent on Twitter. Some of the questions that were answered revolved around the rerelase being a seperate application, progress not being transferrable, character designs, what content will be in the game and possible future merchandise based on the classic designs (like what was seen during 2019 with the Angry Birds GoodStuff plush toys).

General

 * The remake will be made on Unity, rather than Box2D which the original version of Angry Birds used.
 * The remake will be paid and will lack advertisements or microtransactions, as opposed to the original version, which was always free on Android and became free on iOS in 2016. Rovio has stated that the price will be cheap.

Gameplay

 * It has been said that there will be an easier method to put birds back in the slingshot. It is unknown what exactly is meant by this.
 * The player will now be able to zoom in or out of a level without accidentally pulling back the slingshot.
 * Only episodes that were in the game by mid-2012 will be in the remake, which include:
 * Poached Eggs
 * Mighty Hoax
 * Danger Above
 * The Big Setup
 * Ham 'Em High
 * Mine and Dine
 * Birdday Party (only Cake 2/Theme 18)
 * Surf and Turf
 * The Mighty League will be removed from the game because of its mixed-to-negative reception and it being added in 2016.
 * Power-Ups will be removed, due to the remake being a premium experience. Mighty Eagle may return, and if he does, he will no longer require a one-time payment.

Aesthetic

 * More of the game's text will become localizable, which will allow the game to be presented in more languages.
 * The sprites for the pigs seem to have been reverted to the original sprites from before 4.1.0 and in Angry Birds Seasons, as they are seen in a development image for the game in the second Dev Diary. However, this is contradicted from the quote from the same blog, "as for the specific style, they will resemble the birds we had in the Classic game before it left the store", which implies that the resprites debuting in Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Chrome will continue to be used.
 * The logo will be reverted to the 2010 logo, instead of the new logo seen in Angry Birds 2 and onwards.
