Rovio is partnering with Hasbro to make Angry Birds Transformers, a crossover that will include a mobile game, toys, and other licensed goods later this year.

Rovio is looking to branch out beyond its Angry Birds franchise. The company is now aiming to develop games that don't necessarily fall into the company's usual image.

With Angry Birds Epic, Rovio is turning the series into a turn-based role-playing game.

Rovio has announced another Angry Birds spin-off, this time with a pink lady bird taking the lead. Angry Birds Stella is scheduled to launch this fall, though the company tiptoed around stating what the game actually is.

Angry Birds' evolution into a marketing juggernaut is part of a concentrated effort to make the brand last, according to chief marketing officer Peter Vesterbacka.

Angry Birds Go! is now available on iOS and Android devices. It's the franchise's first foray into kart-racing territory. It is, as Rovio points out, the first time Angry Birds has ever been rendered in 3D.

As the next console generation rushes towards us, the announcement of just one more exclusive game could shift a lot of sales to one platform or another and whip console warriors into a violent frenzy. Luckily for us all, this won't be the news to trigger it: Angry Birds Star Wars is coming to both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Rovio is Halloweening its Angry Birds properties, with "Zombie Pigs." New stages with the zombie swine were added to Bad Piggies last week, and a tournament will kick off in Angry Birds Friends tomorrow.

Rovio has been teasing Angry Birds Go! since June, but only today finally confirmed what everyone suspected: it's a kart racer. Arriving on December 11, it'll send birds and pigs kareening downhill, collecting coins and power-ups. Like with Angry Birds Star Wars II, you can unlock vehicles by buying Hasbro's 'Telepod' figures.

In spite of the countless sequels and spin-offs, Angry Birds has never featured multiplayer. That's about to change with the upcoming console version of Angry Birds Star Wars.
