When Angry Birds 2 launched in 2015 the mobile gaming world was a different place compared to the original Angry Birds game from 2009. Angry Birds 2 introduced fans to a whole legion of new features which perfected the classic Angry Birds formula. Highlights include the PvP Arena where players are pitted against each other to win gem rewards, plus a chance to compete in leagues and daily challenges. Clan Battles are particularly popular with seasoned Angry Birds 2 players, where competitive clans can slug it out to win fabulous rewards. The game also welcomed players to the Mighty Eagle’s Bootcamp – the ultimate Angry Birds challenge where players compete on a mammoth global leaderboard. And finally, Angry Birds 2 introduced the adorable Hatchlings, where players can hatch and nurture those uber cute baby birds to increase their slingshotting firepower.
An important pillar of Angry Birds 2 is making players feel more connected with their beloved flocks. We empowered players with more ways to plan and strategize, encouraging different combinations of birds to overcome challenging new levels. With the 3rd birthday upon us, legions of Angry Birds 2 fans on Facebook were invited to submit original designs for new bird hats. 7 winners have been selected and they’ll see their hats within Angry Birds 2 from the 3rd of August 2018.
