A well-placed source has divulged to Tech Crunch that something big might be announced on the Angry Birds Day in Trafalgar Square on December 11th.
London’s Trafalgar Square has been used a number of times to launch console games over the past months, but the Angry Birds get-together could be the launching of a number of new products that are currently in development by Rovio Mobile.
The announcements could include the launch of the new Angry Birds Windows 7 game or even the console releases or even the launch of an Angry Birds movie. But Tech Crunch is thinking even bigger.

Now, I am not saying that a movie, Windows 7 version or a console version of Angry Birds won’t launch on December 11th. But I am saying that is it plausible to expect something far more disruptive from Rovio, given it’s history and team to date.
The Evolution of Angry Birds
Since its initial release in 2009, Angry Birds has become a cultural phenomenon. The game, which involves slinging birds at structures to defeat pigs, has been downloaded billions of times across various platforms. Rovio Mobile, the developer behind Angry Birds, has continually expanded the franchise with numerous sequels, spin-offs, and even merchandise ranging from toys to clothing.
The potential announcements on December 11th could mark another significant milestone in the Angry Birds saga. While a Windows 7 version or a console release would be exciting, the possibility of an Angry Birds movie has fans buzzing with anticipation. Given the success of other game-to-movie adaptations, such as the “Sonic the Hedgehog” film, an Angry Birds movie could be a blockbuster hit.
Speculations and Expectations
Tech Crunch’s Mike Butcher hints at something even more groundbreaking. Rovio Mobile has a history of innovation and disruption in the gaming industry. Could they be planning to unveil a new augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) experience? With the increasing popularity of AR and VR technologies, an Angry Birds AR or VR game could offer an immersive experience that takes the franchise to new heights.
Another possibility is the introduction of a new multiplayer online game. With the success of games like Fortnite and Among Us, a multiplayer Angry Birds game could attract a massive audience. Imagine teaming up with friends to take down pig fortresses in real-time, or competing in global tournaments to see who can achieve the highest scores.
Moreover, Rovio Mobile could be exploring new partnerships and collaborations. The gaming industry has seen a rise in crossovers, where characters from different franchises appear in each other’s games. An Angry Birds crossover with another popular game could create a unique and exciting experience for fans of both franchises.
Whatever the announcement may be, it’s clear that Rovio Mobile has something significant in store for Angry Birds Day. The event in Trafalgar Square is expected to draw a large crowd of fans and media, all eager to see what the future holds for the beloved franchise.
As we await the big reveal on December 11th, one thing is certain: Rovio Mobile has a knack for surprising and delighting its audience. Whether it’s a new game, a movie, or something entirely unexpected, Angry Birds Day is shaping up to be an event that fans won’t want to miss.
