Angry Birds is certainly one of the most popular mobile games of all time, with various versions introduced since 2009. Rovio, the company behind the game, is now bringing the original Angry Birds game back to the App Store with a new engine and no in-app purchases.
As the company announced on Thursday, the game has been completely redesigned using the Unity engine for better stability across devices and platforms. However, Rovio assures that the company has retained every aspect of the original Angry Birds game in this new release.
“When we rebuilt Angry Birds, we tried very hard to keep the feel of the original Angry Birds,” says executive producer Sami Ronkainen. “We know that our fans are very perceptive and will be able to pick up even small differences. It was crucial that the gameplay and look of the game match the original.”
The new remaster is based on the version of the game that was available on the App Store in 2012, before it was discontinued. In 2019, Rovio removed the first Angry Birds game from the App Store as it was no longer fully compatible with newer devices.
What’s interesting about this new release is that, unlike other Angry Birds games, the company has chosen to go back to its roots when it comes to the business model. Instead of a free-to-play game with paid add-on content, Angry Birds Classic has no in-app purchases or ads like the old days.
