Angry Birds 2 shots spied on web?

German TV shows Valentine's version too

Shots of what may be one of the year's most eagerly awaited sequels, Angry Birds 2, have appeared on German telly.

A Valentine's Day update to the original is coming next month too.

Deutsche Welle last week posted a feature piece on Angry Birds - winner of the Reg Hardware Readers' Awards Mobile Game of the Year - developer Rovio. Imbedded in between the interviews are a quartet of shots that seem considerably more detailed than the current release.

The voiceover refers to "new versions of their game", and goes on to reference a "pink" release clearly intended to tie in to Valentine's Day.

The shots may well be part of that release, or they could simply be concept art - particularly since the feature the same 'castle'.

Here's the Deutsche Welle report, courtesy of YouTube:

Nice!

Sounds like a hint of feeling left out of the party, to me?

I wouldn't class myself as "mind numbingly dull and easily distracted", I quite enjoy AB for killing 20 mins on my daily train journey. Not every gamer is dead from the neck upwards you know!

No, I've not either. I don't even know what the aim of it is. I'm reliably informed that it's more addictive than crack so I'm staying well clear.

^^^^ Because, well, it's a bird, isn't it?

Probably won't get the sequel

Unless they do something to drastically improve the aiming system or at the very least not have to spam restart because shot 2 of 5 was 1 degree off.

squarrrrrrrk

Oh no,,, that means I lose my phone for hours on end again and never have enough charge left on the battery for my own needs !!!

@ Aristotles slow and dimwitted horse, I would also assume that your past times and distractions from the real world events of day to day life are so filled with other things that a little game on a phone is so beneath you that you feel the need to criticise the masses of people that have enjoyed this game...

Sad....

badgers because there are no angry bird icons...
