First screenshots from Rovio's new Angry Birds Stella game

Rovio’s been teasing a brand new Angry Birds title for a while now, but now the company has revealed the first screenshot showing the game in action.

The game is called Angry Birds Stella and seems to be a classic Angry Birds. You have your slingshot, piggies stacked up in defensive structures, and all the rest. It isn’t an RPG like Angry Birds Epic was and it is not a kart racing game like Angry Birds Go! either. That much is obvious. This game is heavy on the female birds. There is the titular Stella of course, but the upcoming game will also introduce new female characters, like Gale, Willow, Dahlia, and Poppy.

If that isn’t enough, there’s also a baby called Luca. Each character will have its “own awesome powers”. Even though they are whetting our appetites with the screenshot, Rovio isn’t planning to release the game before the fall and we don’t have an exact launch date either.

Along with the game, there will also be an Angry Birds Stella animation series debuting on ToonsTV this November, so the game will likely be playable by then. It has kind of a vintage Disney look and it is too soon to know if that is a good or bad thing.
