Angry Birds Star Wars coming to all major gaming consoles

Gamers who own gaming consoles but not smartphones or tablets may get the chance to play the "Star Wars" series in the popular "Angry Birds" game franchise.

 

The "Angry Birds Star Wars" game is coming to all major gaming consoles in October, complete with new multiplayer modes and exclusive levels, The Next Web reported.

 

"Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Wii U, as well as PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to catapult Luke Skywalker and other classic Star Wars characters – albeit in bird form – through similarly themed levels based on the original film trilogy," The Next Web report said.

 

Quoting Rovio, The Next Web said the “remastered” edition will include all-new competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes.

 

It will also have 20 new levels exclusive to the console version.

 

"For die-hard Angry Birds fans, this is therefore the definitive collector’s edition," it said.

 

Gamers in the United States may get first crack at the games starting October 29. The global release will be on November 1, it added.

 

Earlier, Rovio said "Angry Birds Star Wars II" will roll out on September 19 for mobile devices. This game features playable characters that can be unlocked by Angry Birds toys. — TJD, GMA News
