Angry Birds versions were among the most popular games in the App Store, but with time that momentum becomes pale, to keep the game presence, Rovio expanded its availability to the Augmented Reality and VR with the devices like Magic Leap, Oculus Rift, and Vive headsets, the company will extend this experience, for the first time, to the mobile devices initiating exclusively with iPhone and iPad.
The release date of the AR game will be late this spring, the pre-order has already started on Wednesday.
Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs will be available on Apple’s App Store for free with in-app purchases.
Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar has tested the Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs.
It uses Apple’s ARKit to construct virtual stages atop the real world, while you use your phone as a slingshot to topple them with irate birds […]
You have the freedom to walk around the stages (assuming there’s nothing obstructing you in the real world) to figure out your best angle of attack. Then you just pull back on your phone’s screen and let loose. (While you can play it in landscape mode, it works best in portrait for one-handed slinging.) The game also doesn’t prevent you from leaning in real close to make sure you hit the precise block you want (AKA the Duck Hunt cheat method) […]
It’s among the most polished AR offerings I’ve seen. The virtual levels are detailed and distinctive, and there’s a ton of personality throughout. It definitely rewards leaning in close. And based on the bit I’ve played, the slingshot mechanics are smooth and accurate.
The game will be running on the devices that support ARKit, which are an iPhone 6S or later, iPad 5th-generation or later, or any of iPad Pro.
