Remember Flappy Bird? It's back, in expanded form. The game so addictive it caused its creator to destroy it for fear of what he'd unleashed on the world is making a return, and it's hitting browsers this year, with a mobile version to follow in 2025.
Per a new official website for the little yellow bird and its infuriating pipe-based gameplay, Flappy Bird will be available for iOS and Android, as well as browsers. Rather confusingly, the game's Linktree page says it'll be playable "exclusively on Telegram".
A description on the site claims that Flappy Bird is "refreshed, reinvigorated, and ready to soar again", and that this will indeed be "the official Flappy Bird game", so this isn't one of those cheap imitators that sprang up in the wake of the original's disappearance.
Of course, this being a 2024 revival of Flappy Bird, you can expect all the usual modern mobile game trappings. The relaunched version of the game will come complete with "new game modes, characters, progression, and massive multiplayer challenges", according to a press release.
Those modes include a basketball-based mode in which you guide the lil' bird through hoops, as well as an honest-to-goodness Flappy Bird battle royale...
