'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,' Rovio concluded.Angry Birds Star Wars is exactly what the name suggests: Angry Birds with licensed Star Wars characters! Developer Rovio has dabbled in different genres in recent months with the building game Amazing Alex and the contraption-centric Bad Piggies, but now the team has returned to old form, pasting together two franchises whose success could never be doubted. 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 this is sad news for many fans, as well as the team that has worked hard to make Rovio Classics: Angry Birds a reality. 'Additionally, the game will be renamed to Red’s First Flight in the App Store pending further review.

'We have reviewed the business case of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, and due to the game's impact on our wider games portfolio, we have decided that Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will be unlisted from the Google Play Store on Thursday, 23rd February,' a statement by Rovio posted to Twitter reads.

Why? In a statement, Rovio suggests the original Angry Birds is simply too popular, and that players are too happy to spend the app's one-off 79p price rather than download the brand's many free-to-play sequels and spin-offs which contain further microtransactions. On iPhone, Angry Birds will stay available - albeit under a new and instantly-forgettable name: 'Red's First Flight'. The original Angry Birds is being pulled from Google Play due to its business 'impact' on developer Rovio's other mobile games.
