The beloved mobile game Flappy Bird, which enjoyed a surge of popularity in the early 2010s, is making a comeback. A group of dedicated fans has acquired the rights to the game and plans to relaunch it for both Android and iOS platforms in 2025. Originally released in 2013, Flappy Bird became a sensation in the iOS App Store before being removed by its creator, Dong Nguyen, just a year later.
The game’s premise is deceptively simple: players guide a bird through a series of green pipes by tapping the screen to control the bird’s altitude. The goal is to navigate as far as possible without colliding with any obstacles. Despite its straightforward mechanics, Flappy Bird quickly climbed to the top of the App Store charts and became a widespread phenomenon.
However, the game’s initial success was short-lived. After receiving a wave of negative feedback, Nguyen decided to take the game offline, leaving many fans disappointed. Although several imitators and clones appeared on mobile app stores, none managed to replicate the original Flappy Bird’s commercial success.
With its impending return, fans of the game will have another chance to relive the challenge and nostalgia of Flappy Bird on their mobile devices.
More stages and characters
The Flappy Bird revival is officially on the horizon! The team behind the remake, known as “The Flappy Bird Foundation Group,” has just dropped an initial trailer teasing the game’s return. This new version will not only bring back the classic gameplay but also introduce several exciting new features.
Players can look forward to four new characters, each with a unique design, such as a unicorn-themed avatar and a penguin. In addition to the traditional gameplay, the update will include three new modes: a basketball mini-game, a friend-versus-friend duel, and an easier mode tailored for newcomers.
While an exact release date hasn’t been set yet, the developers have confirmed that Flappy Bird will be making its comeback sometime next year. Fans of the original game have much to look forward to with these fresh updates and additions!
