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:
