Angry Birds Star Wars is kicking into hyperdrive on November 8, Rovio today revealed. According to
USA Today, the game is coming to iOS, Android, and Windows 8 PCs. Along with the above video, Lucasfilm and Rovio released the below promotional image.
According to Lucasfilm licensing and consumer products marketing VP Paul Southern, the above characters aren't just "
Angry Birds dressed up as Star Wars characters," but they do have "personalities which are kind of similar" to their counterparts. We can already imagine the names: Luke Skysquawker, Chewpecker... actually, that's all we've got.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the game uses the physics of
Angry Birds Space, but is set on recognizable locations from the Star Wars series
. We may well learn more details after the
Times Square reveal later today.
Update: Rovio lets us know the game is coming to iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC (including Windows 8), and Windows Phone.
