Rovio teases forthcoming Angry Birds Go!

Angry Birds enthusiasts might have a reason to rejoice. Rovio shared an image on its official Facebook page teasing a new offering. The new iteration of the popular gaming series Angry Birds is labeled as "Angry Birds Go!"

In a blog post on its website, the company said, "Those birds and piggies are getting ready for their most thrilling and action-packed game yet! All your favorite characters are returning for a brand new title that will bring you closer to Piggy Island than ever before."

This brief announcement was followed by an even briefer animation on a website that the company has launched for the new game. Visiting the same, flashes the words 'Ready'...'Set'...'Go'. The animation is then followed by a bird running on-screen. In the end, you see "Something new is coming" with the Angry Birds Go! symbol beside. What one might decipher from the brief trailer is that perhaps this version of the popular aerodynamics based game might now offer a running element into the series. The "Ready. Set. Go" at the start makes it feel more like a race as well.

Angry Birds Go! will be the seventh game in the popular series, following the original Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Friends.

What platform the game will be available on is unknown at the time, but based on the past, it's safe to say Android and iOS will be targeted at the very least. As of now all of Angry Birds titles except for one are available in mobile as well as desktop versions. Angry Birds Friends stays an exception, as the gaming app was initially available only on Facebook before going mobile.

While we wait for further details about the forthcoming game, Rovio suggests that we stay tuned to the company's social media platforms for more information.
