By now it should be clear to anyone that Rovio is ready to cash in on any opportunity to keep their money-printing Angry Birds franchise in the public mind … and what better example of how best to do that than the 35-year old Star Wars franchise?
On November 8th Rovio will be releasing a Star Wars themed Angry Birds game for iOS and Android. Not many details yet, just this little snippet:
On November 8, the Angry Birds and Star Wars universes will collide, in our best game to date.
It doesn’t stop there though, we’ll have a whole host of toys, animations and other Angry Birds Star Wars goodness to enjoy! So, watch the video a few times, follow our Tumblr page and check back every day – this is just the beginning.
May the birds be with you
Here is the teaser trailer:
Head to the Angry Birds Star Wars site for more details!
There are also a number of tie-ins planned in terms of toys, plushies and costumes! Will it never end?!?
What do you think? Shameless and crass? Will you buy it anyway?
Angry Birds is one of the biggest snoozefests I ever experienced. I can believe they will try any tie-in to keep interest up in it because in and of itself it’s pretty boring.
I love the game & Star Wars, and can’t wait for this to be released!!!
