Angry Birds Epic is hitting Android and iOS devices on June 12th

You may recall the announcement of a new Angry Birds game by Rovio a few months ago. Angry Birds Epic appeared to be a game incorporating turn-based RPG combat, not unlike the Final Fantasy series that many gamers know and love, and is the second game for Rovio that is not based on the more traditional slingshot genre that we’re so used to (Angry Birds Go! of course being the first). Well, if you’ve been holding out for an RPG featuring Angry Birds, then you won’t have to wait much longer as Rovio has announced that the game is going to be available on both Android and iOS on June 12th. If you need a reminder of what the game is going to look like, check out their trailer below:

While it’s definitely a little different to what we’re used to from Rovio, it does look like a well made game, with great animations, and if Rovio’s support of the previous Angry Birds games are anything to go by, they will continue to add new content to Angry Birds Epic as time goes on. That’s the theory anyway; the fact that Rovio has started branching out to different game genres is definitely a sign that the Angry Birds franchise has probably fallen on harder times, but we’ll see how the game actually turns out when it is officially released.

What do you think about Angry Birds Epic? Are you going to pick it up come June 12th?
