Angry Birds creator to launch Bad Piggies on Sep 27

Rovio Entertainment, the creators of "Angry Birds", will launch its new game "Bad Piggies" on September 27 for iOS, Android and Mac.

"There's a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the 'Angry Birds' games, and we've been constantly asked: what about the pigs' side of the story?" said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. "Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the "Angry Birds" universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes."

The new game will be launched on iOS, Android and Mac on September 27, followed by Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions.

"We've had a lot of fun creating a totally new and unique gameplay experience," said Petri Jarvilehto, EVP Games at Rovio. "There's so much more to these pigs than what is seen in the Angry Birds games, and Bad Piggies is the first glimpse into what's going on in the imaginative and ingenious minds of the pigs."
