Flappy Bird Soars Back After Decade-Long Hiatus

Flappy Bird is back! The iconic game returns in an expanded edition this Fall 2024, over a decade after its initial release. Missed your chance to guide the bird through those infamous pipes? Get ready for a second flight, with initial releases across multiple platforms in Q3 2024, and Android and iOS versions slated for 2025.

What's New in This Version?

First, let's talk about the Flappy Bird Foundation—yes, a foundation dedicated to the game! This group of passionate fans secured the official trademark and rights to the original character, and even the rights to Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that inspired Flappy Bird. That's dedication!

The relaunch promises new game modes, fresh characters, and exciting multiplayer challenges. While the core gameplay remains the same, expect enhanced difficulty, new progression systems, and an overhauled overall experience.

Ready for Flappy Bird's Return?

Simple, infuriating, yet undeniably addictive, the original Flappy Bird captivated gamers of all skill levels. Its removal from app stores in February 2014 left a void filled by numerous clones, but none quite captured the magic of the original. Now, the genuine article is back, offering a fresh chance to conquer those green pipes.

There's no official website yet, so follow the Flappy Bird Foundation's official X (formerly Twitter) account for the latest updates.
