Angry Birds swoops into Minecraft

There are a lot of grumpy mobs in Minecraft. Creepers always seem a bit cross to me (why else would they explode?) and I’ve – thankfully – never met a smiling Enderman, but this month something even angrier is arriving in the Overworld. You guessed it: Angry Birds is coming to Minecraft Marketplace!

Here’s a secret: I’ve always suspected the pigs in my Overworld are plotting something. In my tundra base, they’ve been known to use the snow to hop their fence, and sometimes I find them congregating in a corner, snort-whispering. I think they’re planning to overthrow my tradition of pig racing in favor of their preferred past-time: beet eating. But even my piggies’ most dastardly plans have nothing on the plotting porkers you’ll meet in the new Angry Birds DLC*!

That’s right, in this flappingly fantastic new world from the Oreville Studios and Rovio Entertainment, the pigs are up to their old tricks again, and it’s up to you to stop them! Playing as Red, your mission is to rescue your birdnapped pals, save your precious eggs, and thwart the pesky pigs’ grand plans. Battle your way through a uniquely blocky Cobalt Plateau, over the dangerous Piggy Junkyard, through Summer Madness, and across Pig City to try and find your friends. With each rescued buddy you’ll not only get their heartfelt gratitude, you’ll also unlock them as playable characters so you can use the unique skills of  Red, Chuck, Bomb, Stella, and more to your advantage!

If that’s not enough to keep you busy, then how about a free Character Creator item to add into your game? You can claim Red’s Hoodie for free in the Dressing Room, and get into the Angry Bird spirit in your Overworld! I’m going to wear mine around the pig pens for a few days, and see if the snort-whispering stops, because they are definitely up to something. Sometimes it looks like the pig pen moves closer to the beet farm? But surely that’s just my imagination. The pigs would never plot something so sneaky... or would they?
