Story Highlights

  • SEGA Sammy confirms a new Angry Birds game is planned before March 2027.
  • Rovio acquisition reportedly underperformed financially for SEGA Sammy.
  • Angry Birds 2 updates and China launch are part of Rovio’s recovery strategy.

SEGA Sammy recently announced exciting news about Rovio and the future of Angry Birds. A new Angry Birds game is in development and is scheduled to be released before March 2027, according to GamingonPhoneBiz.

SEGA Sammy recently shared its financial results for the fiscal year 2026/3 and disclosed that the acquisition of Rovio hasn’t been as successful as they hoped.

Despite ongoing challenges, Angry Birds remains popular. SEGA Sammy is reorganizing Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, and will focus on strengthening areas where the game has the best chance of continued success in the future.

There’s some good news: Angry Birds 2’s declining popularity appears to have leveled off. The company plans to keep the game fresh with ongoing updates and is also preparing to release it in China.

As of today, Angry Birds 2 is still one of Rovio’s most successful games with ongoing updates and events. Currently, it features a special partnership with Subway Surfers, adding unique themed content to both games.

Beyond Angry Birds 2, Rovio has been steadily working on new and returning projects over the last year. Recently, they unexpectedly released a first look at Angry Birds Rush in Mexico, and in March, they made Angry Birds Friends available to play on web browsers.

Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, is continuing to explore new game types. Last year, they quietly released a puzzle game called Angry Birds Match World on Apple devices in Finland. Despite cautious financial reports from SEGA Sammy, the Angry Birds brand is still thriving, and Rovio is now looking to expand into other forms of entertainment, like movies or TV shows.

SEGA Sammy is making a significant investment in The Angry Birds Movie 3, set to come out on December 23, 2026. They anticipate the movie will increase income from licensed products and also encourage more people to play their existing games through special in-game events and partnerships related to the film.

We don’t yet know what the new Angry Birds game will be like – its gameplay or even its genre are still a mystery. Rovio has been experimenting with different types of games lately, so it could really go in any direction. However, people are definitely excited to see a new game in the Angry Birds series!
