Angry Birds Bounce is Rovio’s first entry in the iconic series since Sega acquisition

  • Angry Birds Bounce is a new release exclusively for Apple Arcade
  • It marks the first Angry Birds release since Rovio was acquired
  • Bounce is a new take on the classic puzzle franchise with a brick-breaker format

Following Sega’s acquisition of Rovio in 2023, concerns may have arisen about the company being sidetracked by Sega’s iconic blue hedgehog character. However, it appears that such apprehensions were unwarranted as Rovio has made a strong comeback, with their latest Angry Birds installment, titled Angry Birds Bounce, slated for release on July 3rd.

Remember these two points: Firstly, this is accessible through Apple Arcade, and secondly, it’s not your typical Angry Birds gameplay experience as defined by the conventional slingshot mechanic. Instead, Angry Birds Bounce opts for a more innovative brick-breaker style of gameplay.

However, beyond this point, all the distinctive features of Rovio’s entertaining puzzle games remain intact. In Angry Birds Bounce, you will face off against your usual adversaries, the pigs, and hurl Red and his companions into combat. Returning talents are present, as your goal is to find the optimal angle for the birds to shatter each brick using the least number of slingshots possible.

Instead of the traditional style, Angry Birds Bounce represents a new direction for the series, yet it maintains the same level of refinement one would anticipate from an experienced studio like Rovio.

The main problem is that this game is exclusive to Apple Arcade. While subscribers are undoubtedly excited about another fantastic title joining the service, those who aren’t Apple users or have Android devices might be frustrated because they can’t access this promising new game.

However, if Angry Birds Bounce seems appealing, remember there are other fantastic new releases on iOS and Android as well! If you’re unsure about which one to pick first, why not explore the latest additions to our weekly roundup highlighting the top five mobile games worth trying?
