- "Classic Slingshot Action!"
- — Tagline
Angry Birds Reloaded is a game in the Angry Birds series, released exclusively for the Apple Arcade subscription service.[1][2] The game is a reimagining of the original Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Space, the main difference being the addition of elements from The Angry Birds Movie and its sequel. Despite this, Rovio considers it an original title that is simply based on the older games.[3] The game released on July 15, 2021, at 11:00 P.M EST.[4]
Plot
Bird & Pig Islands
Red catches three Minion Pigs spying on him while showing the different Pig City locations with Bomb, Chuck and the Blues. The pigs run off, but the birds chase them back, and proceed to destroy their fortresses with the aid of the slingshot.
Some time after, Red, Chuck, Bomb and the Blues climb up Eagle Mountain to find Mighty Eagle urinating in the infamous Lake of Wisdom, in which two Minion Pigs and Garry are found swimming and relaxing. The birds then demolish the pig fortresses found in the area.
On Terence and Matilda's wedding day, all seems to go smoothly until Leonard, Chef Pig and a Minion Pig break out of the wedding cake. The birds once again destroy the pigs' structures that were built in the area.
Afterwards, the pigs steal the eggs once more. This journey takes them to Piggy Island, where they find the pigs in South Beach reclaim the eggs in the Cobalt Plateaus.
While on Piggy Island, Red, Chuck and Bomb spy on Pig City on a tree branch, which Leonard saws off. The birds then destroy the structures found in the city, and make it to the Pig Palace. There, they find the eggs and try to stealthily make their escape, though Red trips on a spoon, startling Leonard and Chef Pig, who trap the birds in a cage. However, the eggs were fakes that explode when put into the cauldron, freeing the birds and defeating the pigs.
Some time afterward, Red, Chuck and Bomb visit Piglantis, encountering a flirtatious mermaid pig; Red is unamused, Chuck immediately falls in love, and Bomb is disgusted.
Secret Area
During Thanksgiving, the birds and pigs have a friendly Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner that Chef Pig serves, though, appears to the birds a slaughtered turkey, which prompts them to attack the pigs. Despite the birds' suspicions, the dinner is just a pumpkin and corn on the cob.
At Christmastime, the birds and pigs once again set aside their differences to celebrate. However, their friendliness is cut short when some Minion Pigs drop a stack of pies on Red and Silver, something Leonard is amused by. This infuriates Red, who retaliates by throwing another pie at Leonard, launching him onto the nearby Christmas tree, causing it to shoot its star directly at Bomb, which makes him explode.
Sometime later, the Daft Piggies host a rave, with Red, Stella, Leonard, Courtney, and a lone Minion Pig taking center stage. Unfortunately, the aforementioned dancers start repeatedly bumping into each other, eventually causing the Daft Piggies' entire setup to collapse. Regardless, everyone at the site, besides the five leading dancers, continues dancing. Later, Red, Chuck, and a Minion Pig play with light sticks when aliens show up, angering Red and startling the other two.
During the summer, Red, Chuck, Bomb, Leonard, Garry, and a Minion Pig travel to a campsite to spend the holiday. However, Bomb's fuse is lit by a nearby campfire, causing him to blow up the whole area.
During the Moon Festival, Matilda prepares a special dinner for the occasion. Chuck, Stella, and Red are excited to tuck in, but the meal is sabotaged by a lone Minion Pig who eats the meal behind their backs. This maddens the Flock, who proceed to attack the pigs.
At Halloween, the Blues have had their candy stolen and are crestfallen about it. Matilda and Terence decide to investigate the situation following a trail of candy wrappers left by a trio of pigs. The wrappers lead to a haunted house, where they find that the one collecting all the candy was Bubbles, who feels embarrassed about being discovered.
Christmas sets in once more, and the pigs are trying to set up a Christmas tree with Red, Chuck, and Stella watching. However, when the pigs put the star on top of the tree, it immediately collapses, launching the food off the nearby table and sending a pie onto Terence's head. This enrages Terence, who was peacefully fishing when this happened.
Later on, during Saint Patrick's Day, Red, Chuck, and Bomb are exploring a field, only to encounter the end of a rainbow. A pot of gold and a pig wearing a leprechaun hat appear from that rainbow. Afterward, during Easter, Red, Matilda, Terence, and the Blues go on an easter egg hunt, only to find a Golden Egg in which a pig dressed as a bunny seizes.
Space
- Main article: Angry Birds Space#Plot
After going through a warp hole that appears from the sky, Red, the Blues, Chuck, Bomb, and Terence find themselves in a world filled with small planetoids in which they gain special transformations. Hordes of pigs enter this realm to snatch up Eggsteroids, but the Flock promptly defeats them before taking on Leonard using a UFO to control a boulder and vegetable-dispensing vehicle. Upon his own defeat, however, Leonard uses his UFO to enter a warp hole, which the birds follow him into.
The wormhole takes everyone to a cold region of the galaxy. An alien bird named Ice Bird joins the group, and they defeat more pigs before taking on Leonard again.
Sometime later, the birds arrive on the moon and face off against even more pigs, including a Foreman Pig who stole a Space Egg.
Afterwards, Bubbles goes through the warp hole from Earth just as Red tracks a giant pig called the 'Big Bork' eating an eggsteroid in a region made of sweets and desserts in the galaxy. The flock defeats the pig, which makes him spit out the eggsteroid in him, returning him back to a normal pig.
In their next adventure, the flock travels to a red planet and chases the pigs on the Mars Curiosity Rover.
Eagle Island
- Main article: The Angry Birds Movie 2#Plot
One day, a giant ice ball mysteriously appears on the coast. Red, Chuck, Bomb, Silver, Leonard, Garry and Courtney all come to the scene to investigate. Upon learning that ice balls come from a mysterious third island, Eagle Island, the birds and pigs decide to form a temporary alliance to save their homelands. The team make it to Eagle Island and separate into two groups: Red and Silver go on their own and spy on the eagle guards while the others use the Harvey suit to sneak into the ice cannon launching the ice balls. Upon making it inside the ice cannon, the group rejoins and meets Zeta, the leader of the eagles. Despite the team's efforts to take down the rest of the eagle army, Zeta and some eagle guards still end up capturing them. However, the ice cannon conveniently ends up exploding, freeing the birds and pigs and defeating the eagles.
Later on, Mighty Eagle and Zeta have a wedding, with Red and Leonard there to watch it. However, for unknown reasons, the eagle guards kidnap their leader and make their way to Eagle Island. The birds and pigs resume their alliance to get Zeta back. Making their way into an underground lair, Mighty Eagle eventually finds that Zeta was waiting for him at the top of a staircase.
Abra-Ca-Bacon
The tickets for Birdie's carnival have been hijacked, alongside Stella's favorite costume; the Flock rises to the scene to defeat the pigs and get the tickets and Stella's costume back.
Gameplay
Trying to emulate the gameplay from the earliest Angry Birds games, Angry Birds Reloaded is a puzzle game. In the game, the player takes control of a limited group of birds, who can be launched anywhere by the use of a slingshot. All levels have a series of pigs the player must pop by the use of their characters. These pigs normally appear sheltered inside of structures made of wood, glass, and/or stone, in addition of some additional objects, such as TNT. If the player fails to pop all the pigs in the levels, they will get a Level Failed screen, encouraging them to try again. If they manage to do so however, they will win and pass to the next level. Upon completing each level, the player will receive one, two, or three stars depending on the score received.

Trivia
- Many of the sound effects in Angry Birds Reloaded are taken from Angry Birds 2, most of which originating from various episodes of Angry Birds Toons, while most of the sprites of the birds and pigs resemble the ones from Angry Birds Friends. Some of the sounds from the original game, most notably Red’s yells, Bubbles’s launch sound and the Space Flock’s sounds, are also used.
- The original Angry Birds Friends sprites appear to have been placeholders, as they can be seen in early trailers, and in the in-game tutorials for the playable characters and Power-Ups.
- The game's official reveal trailer takes Angry Birds footage from the YouTube video "Angry Birds (PC Gameplay - 1080p)".[5]
- Concept art shows that the names of each episode's location were used as placeholders before the names of each episode was finalised.[6]
- In the game's App Store description, Leonard is referred to as King Pig.
- Angry Birds Reloaded was initially meant to start a brand new timeline, meant to unify the brand.[7] This seems to have been replaced with the Angryverse, and on August 8, 2022, the official Angry Birds website labeled the game as a part of the Classic Dimension alongside Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2, despite some plot elements, such as Silver's movie-based redesign and Leonard replacing King Pig, cause some continuity errors within the timeline.
- Silver's appearance is based on her movie design rather than her Toons design. Silver's design was also altered to remove her limbs.
- However, Bubbles's appearance is based on his Toons design, rather than his Friends design, being a shaded version of the classic sprite.
- In February 2023, it was said by the senior brand and community manager Buck that Reloaded wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for Apple commissioning it from Rovio.[8]
