Rovio is teasing a major crossover event for their next big release, hinting at a Star Wars edition of Angry Birds in series of images and a new Tumblr page, It looks like a Black Bird holding a Saber.
The green pigs have had their moment in the sun: it’s time for the Angry Birds to come back. Rovio Mobile has posted a teaser of a collaboration between its frustrated avians and Star Wars that will get a grand reveal on October 8th at Toys R Us’ Times Square location in New York City. No clear giveaways exist as to what’s coming, although Rovio is promising animations, comics and other material in the weeks ahead — we imagine it means more than a toy line, as unique as that can be. But does it mean an Angry Birds Space add-on that goes well beyond the Martian landscape, an entirely new game or something else altogether? We’ve asked the company for more details and will let you know if we’re given more information. In the meantime, get ready for what’s likely to be a geek culture explosion – Engadget

“The Angry Birds and Star Wars universes will collide in our best game to date,” the developer said. “It doesn’t stop there though, we’ll have a whole host of toys, animations and other Angry Rebels goodness to enjoy.” The game is due out November 8 for iOS, Android, and PC.
