The new game will allow the fans of Angry Birds to explore the enticing power of the chirpy birds mixed with the classic piggy towers that will be present in the user’s own environment. The augmented reality incorporation in the game is done through the aid of Apple’s ARKit and allows the players to experience the power of the angry birds like never before.
According to the CEO of ROVIO Entertainment, Kati Levoranta, the Rovio team is delighted to bring the physics-based gameplay to life through Augmented Reality. She further added that it is the perfect time to bring the avian friends to life through AR for the first time as 2019 marks the tenth anniversary of the first release of the Angry Birds game.
This game evokes the core of what makes AR gameplay truly AR. With its engaging characters, classic Angry Birds slingshot gameplay and ability to move around the structures, it utilizes the unique elements of Apple’s ARKit and showcases what AR gameplay is capable of, which is pretty amazing when you see it come to life.
