Rovio, the company behind the runaway hit mobile game
Angry Birds, has launched a Tumblr page for the game, and this is
the debut post:
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?
Times Square, New York, October 8th, 10am EST.
HINT: Head to Toys R Us at 8am EST!
That's all we have so far. We'll keep you posted as we learn more about this new installment in the Angry Birds saga.
UPDATE: Courtesy of
Fast Company, we have some new information for you:
That Angry Bird shrouded in Jedi garb and wielding a light saber you might have seen on the Tumblr of Finnish startup Rovio? It?s a tease to a forthcoming mash-up between the two universes. Fast Company can confirm, via Lucasfilm, the production company behind the Star Wars franchise, that on Monday morning at the Toys R Us store in New York?s Times Square, Lucasfilm will announce a toy line to accompany Angry Birds Star Wars. The game casts the furious fowl as icons from the movies. And yes, Red Bird will be Luke Skywalker.
