VGC reported that Rovio community manager Shawn Buckelew expanded on the company's decision when responding to users on the game's Discord server. We hope those fans can continue to bring that passion to our live Angry Birds slingshot games such as Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Friends, and Angry Birds Journey, where our goal every day is to craft the best possible experience for players.' 'We are extremely grateful to the Angry Birds fans who have shown their love of the brand and this game from the beginning. 'We understand that this is sad news for many fans, as well as the team that has worked hard to make Rovio Classics: Angry Birds a reality,' the company wrote. Unlike Rovio's other Angry Birds titles, this re-release was not free-to-play but priced at $0.99 and did not feature microtransactions.Īny users who have already downloaded the game will still have access to it after the delisting. Meanwhile, the iOS version will be renamed to Red's First Flight, presumably to make it less likely to appear in searches for 'Angry Birds.' The company announced the change on Twitter, with Rovio Classics: Angry Birds due to be pulled from the Google Play Store today – less than a year after it was released last April.

Rovio has announced that the re-release of the original Angry Birds will be delisted on Android and renamed on iOS due to 'the game's impact on our wider games portfolio.'
