It’s time to see what it’s like to live in the shoes cloven hooves of the egg stealing piggies responsible for making birds quite angry. Millions of adorable green swine have been mercilessly slaughtered for simply trying to feed their families. They’ve tried protecting themselves with hardhats, makeshift houses, and have even gone as far as to leave their gravity loving homes in favor of the cold darkness of space. No matter what they do or where they go, there always seems to be a giant slingshot waiting to blast an Angry Bird at their hide. That all ends this month, with the release of Bad Piggies for Android and iOS.

Rovio has announced the launch date of their Angry Birds spin-off, featuring the life of those hapless hammies and their families. With all new, never-before-seen gameplay, you’ll have the chance to play the part of the pig, and see how it feels to be a famed frenemy in a slingshot-less world.

“We’ve had a lot of fun creating a totally new and unique gameplay experience,” said Petri Järvilehto, EVP Games at Rovio. “There’s so much more to these pigs than what is seen in the Angry Birds games, and Bad Piggies is the first glimpse into what’s going on in the imaginative and ingenious minds of the pigs.”

This new Rovio title will launch on Android, iOS, and Mac on September 27th — with Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions to follow. For more information on this twist of tales, hit up the source link found below. Cheers!
