Due to the fact that I'm Flappy, tap along …
- Video gaming phenomenon Flappy Bird goes back to mobile next year
- The Flappy Bird Foundation has gotten the rights to the popular unlimited, er, flapper?
- It will show up later on this year, most likely on PC
Readers of Pocket Gamer, I am unreasonably thrilled. Mobile video gaming phenomenon Flappy Bird is formally returning! After a years's lack and numerous in some way bad replicas, it will once again grace iOS and Android in 2025. We will see it before then later on this year, most likely in web browser type.
The resurrection has actually come thanks to the appropriately called Flappy Bird Foundation, who got the main hallmark together with the rights to the initial video game and character from Piou vs. Cactus, which motivated the bird all of us understand and like.
Naturally, it likely would not suffice to simply launch Flappy Bird as it was and anticipate it to be as effective as before for numerous factors. Chief amongst them is individuals's requirement for their mobile video games to do more than trade off an easy concept, especially one they played 10 years back. Simply an unlimited runner does not cut it in 2024, unfortunately. We can anticipate various video game modes, characters, development types and even multiplayer obstacles if that's something you're into.
I'm extremely interested to see where this goes. While I have a great deal of classic love for the initial Flappy Bird – taking on my buddies to see who might do the very best is certainly a fond memory – it was constantly a bit, well, rubbish. And yet, it still unquestionably had something as apparent from its ridiculous appeal.
I constantly wished to keep attempting to promote a brand-new high rating, although it seemed like whatever about the video game was working versus me. In some cases, these things inexplicably remove, I think, catching the whole world for a while till the developer takes it down to the mob's dissatisfaction. Can it occur a 2nd time round? My head states no, however my heart desires another couple of wondrous weeks where everybody's consumed with attempting to keep an oddly charming bird airbourne. Let's simply hope individuals still care.
Flappy Bird is set to return in some type throughout Q3 of this year. We'll have to wait up until 2025 for it to be launched on iOS and Android, however it's occurring!
