Angry Birds spin-off Bad Piggies PC version confirmed

The PC version of Rovio’s Bad Piggies will cost £10.20 and will hit shelves next month.

The port will receive free DLC updates like the iOS version does and will be released by Focus Multimedia.

The new game sees the pigs stranded on a desert island where they have to build vehicles and contraptions to make their way to the bird eggs they seem to love so much.

"Bad Piggies is a testament to Rovio’s exceptional talent for creativity and consistently entertaining gameplay," said Focus brand manager Alan Wild.

"This time last year saw Angry Birds achieve phenomenal festive retail success. Bad Piggies promises a repeat performance. With fresh and exciting appeal, established imagery and iconic characters, the Bad Piggies PC release is perfectly timed for another piggin’ brilliant Christmas at retail."

Bad Piggies will be available for iOS, Android and Mac from September 27, with the retail version due out in October.
