The Angry Birds are back — and this time, they’re bouncing. Rovio Entertainment, now a proud member of the SEGA family, is set to launch Angry Birds Bounce, a bold new chapter in the iconic mobile franchise. The game will be exclusive to Apple Arcade starting July 3, 2025, and promises to shake up slingshot mechanics with a vertical, brick-breaker-inspired twist.
A New Era of Angry Birds Begins
Angry Birds Bounce reimagines the classic trajectory-based gameplay that made the series a mobile legend. Instead of firing horizontally at forts and pigs, players now aim skyward — navigating rogue-lite stages that blend strategic depth with chaotic arcade fun. It’s a fresh spin that aims to satisfy both longtime fans and new players.
“Angry Birds Bounce reinvents the classic Angry Birds formula with a vertical twist, refreshing the gameplay while staying true to the brand’s DNA,” said Bryan Cook, Game Lead at Rovio. “We’re excited to launch this exclusively on Apple Arcade with our largest roster of Angry Birds characters yet.”
First Angry Birds Game Under SEGA
This release marks Rovio’s first Angry Birds title since joining SEGA in 2023. It’s a major milestone for the Finnish studio and a moment of transformation for the franchise, which has seen over 5 billion lifetime downloads in its 15-year history.
Developed entirely in Canada by Rovio’s Toronto studio, Angry Birds Bounce also holds the distinction of being the first all-Canadian Angry Birds title.
Meet Jo and Gordon: New Birds Join the Flock
Bounce doesn’t just reshape gameplay — it expands the Angry Birds universe. Alongside fan favorites like Red, Chuck, and Bomb, players will meet:
- Jo, the franchise’s first non-binary bird, who originally debuted during Pride Month 2023 and now joins the main roster with a full set of abilities and backstory.
- Gordon, a new character inspired by Canadian creativity and personality, bringing unique flair and tactical strengths to the flock.
These new faces signal Rovio’s push toward diversity, storytelling, and community-driven development in the mobile space.
