But after a ten-year wait, Flappy Bird will finally rise from the ashes, thanks to a collective of fans who have given their all to bring the game back to life. Thus, the Flappy Bird Foundation has decided to “share the game with the world“. The collective has worked for ten years to carry out this mission, starting by acquiring the rights to Flappy Bird from Gametech Holdings.

For his part, the creative director of this new Flappy Bird said he was delighted “to offer a new experience that will keep players engaged for years to come“.

For the occasion, the collective is not releasing the game identically. This new version will offer different playable characters such as Trixi, Tekno, Peng or Quirky as well as new game modes such as an Easy mode or Flappy Bird Rivals to rub shoulders with 99 other players.

Although we don't know the official release date yet, the application will be available on PC this year and we will have to wait until 2025 for the app on iPhone and Android.
