Last week's Angry Birds-related teaser video hints at an upcoming turn-based mobile role-playing game from series creator Rovio, Kotaku reports.

Angry Birds Epic will feature an in-depth item-crafting component and a story-driven campaign when it hits the iOS App Store, Google Play, and the Windows Phone 8 storefront this year. An early version of Angry Birds Epic will arrive in the Canadian and Australian App Stores later this week, giving Rovio the opportunity to test game balance and online functionality prior to its worldwide release.

Angry Birds developer Rovio said they were teasing an epic new game, and they weren't kidding. Soft launching in Australia and Canada this week, Angry Birds Epic is an adventure role-playing game with turn-based combat and an extensive crafting system. I did not see this coming. Read more...

A new Dark Souls? The next chapter in The Elder Scrolls? No, it's just Angry Birds. Rovio is teasing another new Angry Birds title, soon to be soft-launched in Canada and Australia. Definitely getting an epic fantasy vibe, but which epic fantasy? Read more...

I'm not sure if this is coincidence or performance art.Read more...

Rovio has announced Angry Birds Stella, a new line within the increasingly lucrative Angry Birds universe.

Your phone, your e-mail, your Skype calls... just about everything you use is leaking information these days. Including Angry Birds, according to a new report by ProPublica and The New York Times.Read more...

While the rest of the Angry Birds spend their days desperately trying to recover their stolen young from their piggy adversaries, one has apparently decided he'd rather skip off to North America to play ice hockey. NHL HockeyBird is a bit of a dick. Read more...

It's easy to tune out just how much Angry Birds-branded merchandise there is floating out there in the world. Everywhere you look, there's some food/toy/clothing item festooned with the likeness of Rovio's super-ubiquitous characters on it. So, it's really surprising that there haven't been any Angry Birds comic books in print yet. That changes with a new series coming this summer.Read more...

There's no reason that McMaNGOS should have mashed up the theme from Angry Birds and the Beastie Boys' 'Intergalactic'. Except that it works surprisingly well.Read more...

Now that fans of mobile gaming's most furious fowl have had time to collect all of Hasbro's Angry Birds Go! Telepods figures, Rovio has finally released the 3D kart racing game that goes along with them. The free-to-play Angry Birds Go! is out today for Android and iOS. Read more...

Artists at Rovio were asked to mix Angry Birds with other games, and this Street Fighter mashup is what Javier Burgos came up with. Awesome coloring! And he really had to make those birds look upset to avoid mockery.Read more...

It's still a couple of weeks before the Angry Birds kart racing game hits mobile devices in North America, but it's on New Zealand's iTunes right now, and I've played it long enough to get very angry with it. Energy meters? Really? Read more...

There's a new update for Angry Birds available today, transforming the Bomb Bird's explosions into highly-destructive electrical pulses. Your children will have questions about this update, and the accompanying trailer. We've got answers. Read more...

Now that the toy tie-ins are on store shelves and we've got an official December 11 release date, we're finally getting a look Angry Birds Go! gameplay. Wow. Read more...

The Angry Birds theme park had long been in the works. Rovio's been angling to create a theme park in China since 2011. After years of planning, the park was finally officially opened to the public last week.Read more...

The merchandising geniuses at Rovio are back again. This time around, instead of incredibly weird meats and Star Wars-themed video games, the fine folks that make Angry Birds have now released a series of Angry Birds Colas.Read more...

Hasbro recently announced a new line of toys for an upcoming mobile game in the Angry Birds series, Angry Birds Go. The toy manufacturer's brief description of the game notes that the series' iconic birds and pigs "have jumped into karts to battle it out in a calamitous downhill race to the finish," indicating that Angry Birds Go is a kart racer of some sort.

Hasbro's Telepods and Jenga toy line includes nine separate sets with the Angry Birds Go theme, ranging from $5 packs to full $30 game sets that feature pirate ships, trophy cups and towers to knock down. The Jenga toy sets include codes for in-app content to be used in Angry Birds Go, whereas the Telepods sets have toy bases that "teleport your kart" into the game. That certainly sounds like Angry Birds Go is hoping to fling its way into Skylanders and Disney Infinity territory.

Our first official look at Angry Birds Go! comes not from a trailer or in-game screenshots, but from Hasbro's upcoming line of Telepods and Jenga toys based on the kart-based spin-off. Strange. Read more...

Making a mobile game crossover is easy. Just take your popular game and re-skin it to resemble whichever pop culture phenomenon will rake in the most cash. This is twice now Angry Birds developer Rovio has screwed up that simple formula. It's probably because they're Finnish. Read more...

The next Angry Birds game is a kart racer. Huh. That'll quiet the folks who complain Rovio only releases the same sort of game over and over again, I guess. And they've hooked up with Red Bull, which explains all the Go-ing. Read more...

Ian McDiarmid, the voice of Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars films, lent his voice to Rovio's first "Join the Pork Side" video for Angry Birds: Star Wars 2. McDiarmid's recognizable growl matches well with the evil green pig, who spins around in his chair less gracefully than Palpatine did in the films.

Angry Birds: Star Wars 2 will feature over 30 characters inspired by the Star Wars universe. The game will launch September 19 on iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 for 99 cents, with a free, ad-supported version also planned for Android.

Good. Use your aggressive feelings. Let the hate flow through you. If Ian McDiarmid reprising his role as Emperor Palpatine in pig form doesn't sway you to Angry Bird Star Wars II's Pork Side — if you will not be turned — you will be destroyed! Read more...
