Angry Birds receives birthday update on Sunday, retail events to celebrate

Angry Birds will turn two on Sunday, December 11, and publisher Rovio is celebrating with an update to the title that’s sent its company valuation into the gaping maw of madness.

The Angry Birds “Happy Birdday” update will include 15 birthday cake levels, new menus and graphics, along with all episodes being unlocked. The update goes live Sunday for iOS, with “other platforms coming soon.”

In the States, book emporium Barnes & Noble will hold special giveaways from 11AM to 3PM, with “select stores” holding “additional activities such as coloring or high score contests, design your own Angry Birds character, Angry Birds parades and guessing games.” Call your local store for more details. Toys ‘R’ Us will also have 25 percent off Angry Birds plushies and an extra level code for Angry Birds Google Chrome. There will also be events at international retail locations in the UK and Japan.Angry Birds receives birthday update on Sunday, retail events to celebrate originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:00:00 EST.
