Angry Birds Evolution (formerly known as Angry Birds TNT and erroneously known in some countries as Bad Piggies 2), is a free-to-play turn-based role-playing video 3D puzzle game.

History

The game was being produced since 2015 or earlier by Rovio Entertainment Corporation and Chimera Entertainment. The premise of the game was to appeal to older audiences with popular culture references and adult visuals and humor.

On June 30, 2016, Rovio and AngryBirdsNest made a post where they were giving the instructions to download a new game, Angry Birds TNT; Registered AngryBirdsNest who commented on the post and had an iOS device would get an email from the developers on July 11, 2016.

Afterwards, the member had to follow the instructions given in the email, which was downloading the TestFlight app and registering the code TNT on it. The game would then start to download.

The beta started the same day. The app’s name was AB Beta. The beta had several differences from the final game.

The game received an update and the post was also updated to give more users the opportunity to try the beta. The update included several corrections and new designs to the birds. It was not possible to save progress from it. The beta was closed on August 3, 2016. The game was then released for a soft launch on August 17, 2016, in Hong Kong, with new name and other various changes.

The game released in more countries in October 2016.

A trailer was released on May 24, 2017, announcing the game’s launch, users who pre-registered would get a free Starter Pack worth $7.99. The game officially launched worldwide on June 15, 2017. Promotions for the game were made in Rovio’s other games, with the Angry Birds Evolution Spell week in Angry Birds 2 and a tournament in Angry Birds Friends.

Gameplay

Trivia

In this game, Shirley’s color is blue.
In battle, a minion pig is wearing a blue and yellow afro wig while spectating in battle.
Angry Birds Evolution may be a spiritual sequel to Angry Birds Action!, due to gameplay similarities between the two games.
In some posters, the flock birds are fighting new birds, and in an ad, a blue bird punches Red in the face. This could imply that some birds have some type of rivalry.
Hal makes some cameos in the game as symbols.
- He also was the base for Walter’s design.
Some of the designs of the birds were brought from the comics and other instances.
The game originally had an Apple iMessage sticker pack install with the general application, but that has since been removed from the “iMessage” section of Rovio Entertainment’s App Store gallery around mid 2021.[citation needed]
Chuck strangely has a higher pitch voice than all other Angry Birds games in this game.
It was discovered on October 7th of 2022 that Rovio has been re-advertising Evolution through the Facebook ADs and Geeklab service, which can hint at possible upcoming updates.[1]
Ever since 2020, the game has been renamed every year to include the current year on the Android version.[2][3]
