Rovio’s Angry Birds have a reason to celebrate this weekend as the franchise has turned two this weekend. To celebrate, Rovio and Chillingo have updated the Angry Birds and Angry Birds HD games on iOS with 15 new levels and a brand new orange bird to throw around.
Chillingo’s (now EA-owned) deal with Rovio to publish Angry Birds was one of the biggest successes in their history. The break-up between Rovio and Chillingo also made it possible for Rovio to put their company in the spotlights and further expand the Angry Birds brand in ways never explored before by other mobile companies.
Oké, HandyGames also made stuffed toys from one of their characters (Poopsy), but movie tie-ins, iPhone accessory lines, mobile speakers, boardgames and other Angry Birds related merchandise is probably new to anyone in this space. Anyway, congratulations Rovio and Chillingo!
