- Angry Birds Bounce is a brand-new Apple Arcade exclusive.
- This is the first Angry Birds title released since Sega acquired Rovio.
- Bounce reinvents the classic puzzle series with brick-breaker style gameplay.
When Sega acquired Rovio in 2023, some fans worried the studio might prioritize projects featuring their iconic blue hedgehog. Fortunately, those concerns were misplaced, as Rovio triumphantly returns with their first Angry Birds game since the acquisition. Angry Birds Bounce is scheduled to launch on July 3rd.
It's important to note two key details: the game is exclusive to Apple Arcade, and it offers a fresh gameplay approach. Angry Birds Bounce experiments with a brick-breaker format rather than the traditional slingshot mechanics.
Despite the new style, the game retains all the charm and engaging puzzle elements Rovio is known for. Players will face off against the familiar pig enemies, launching Red and his feathered friends into action. Classic abilities return as you aim for the perfect angle to clear all bricks in the fewest shots possible.
Feathered FuryWhile Angry Birds Bounce represents a new direction for the franchise, it maintains the polished quality expected from an experienced developer like Rovio.
The primary limitation is its Apple Arcade exclusivity. Subscribers will welcome this exciting addition to the service's library, but Android users and non-subscribers may feel disappointed about missing out on this promising new title.
There's no need to despair though. While Angry Birds Bounce looks impressive, several other excellent games have recently launched on both iOS and Android. Need some suggestions? Explore our latest weekly feature highlighting the top five new mobile games you should try.
