Angry Birds & Star Wars join forces

Rovio Entertainment have today announced that 'Angry Birds Star Wars' will launch worldwide on November 8th for iOS devices, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8.

Angry Birds Star Wars combines all the fun of the classic gameplay of Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space with the characters, stories and settings of the epic space fantasy, Star Wars.

“This is the best Angry Birds game we’ve ever done. It’s the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away,” said Peter Vesterbacka, CMO of Rovio. “As a big Star Wars fan myself, I’m really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one.”

In addition to the game, this fall will also see the unveiling of a massive retail launch for Angry Birds Star Wars. Merchandise ranging from Halloween costumes, action figures and collectible plush toys will be available at select retailers, starting October 28th.

In the coming weeks, fans can expect additional new videos, characters, and much more content to be revealed.
