ANGRY BIRDS GO!

Rovio will be releasing Angry Birds Go! for free and it will feature what is being described as “high-octane downhill racing.” The game will include a variety of characters as well as a variety of karts to race those characters on. Each of the characters will have special powers and similar to other recent Rovio releases — support for Hasbro’s TELEPODS.

In this case, Rovio will be launching a countdown app for those looking to get in on the TELEPODS support. They have said a “special countdown app” will be released at the end of October. The app will allow users to get a head start by scanning the TELEPODS ahead of the actual Angry Birds Go! game release.

“In Angry Birds Go! you can feel the rush as you fling down the track and go head-to-head in a fast and furious race to the finish line! Look out for treacherous roads, mischievous opponents and unique special powers to put the race leader behind the pack. Plus you can go from homemade soapbox car to a super-fly car by upgrading your ride. It’s all there, along with crazy stunt and air tracks, and many fun and surprising game modes.”

And, yes! The game will be built from the ground up as a free-to-play title, with a whole host of modes and features included from the get-go.
