Rovio’s Bad Piggies Launches September 27th

September 4, 2012

I honestly never thought I'd see the day that Rovio would announce a new game that wasn't Angry Birds, but I suppose this is the day that pigs fly. Literally.

It's called Bad Piggies, and yes, it's based on the pigs in the Angry Birds games. The press release swears that there are no slingshots in sight, but I bet we'll see some sort of flinging. However, as you can see from the trailer below, Rovio has given no real glimpse into gameplay. All we know is that it will release on September 27th on iOS, Android, and Mac. Versions for the Windows Phone, Windows 8, and PC will release at a later date.

I've been a writer since I was five, but I came to the gaming realm a little late--post college. However, I've well made up for that ever since I took over my husband's PlayStation 2. I've been writing about and reviewing games since 2005, and can currently be found writing for P laystation LifeStyle and Strategy Guide Reviews on a regular basis.

I'm a professional writer and aspiring yoga teacher by day, but a I'm a game-loving, comic-reading, fantasy book-obsessing geek 24-hours a day.
