Rovio has put out a cryptic crossover image on its newly formed Angry Birds Tumblr page, which hints at the Angry Birds investigating the dark side of the force in a Star Wars and Angry Birds crossover!
The Tumblr page gives an introduction;
“Welcome to the Angry Birds Tumblr page. Over the next few weeks we’ll have behind-the-scenes content, animations, comics, and much, much more. But what will this all be about exactly?! Here’s a clue…”
And then the Star Wars bit happens! In a animated gif we see a shadowed Angry Bird with a lightsaber repeatedly lighting up.
“Times Square, New York, October 8th, 10am EST.”
“HINT: Head to Toys R Us at 8am EST!”
Additionally, the company took to Twitter to promote the Angry Birds crossover by stating:
“Next big thing. rov.io/10-08-2012 #comingsoon”
With Rovio recently releasing its “Bad Piggies” Android and iOS game which puts you in a different Angry Birds world from the evil piggies’ perspective, plus the continued success of the “Amazing Alex” game, the mobile games makers are on a bit of a roll.
Plus nothing says success like tackling the Star Wars saga… just ask Lego. So roll on October 8th.
