Angry Birds Seasons Halloween Update is Here

 

As expected, the latest Angry Birds Seasons update is here, one week before Halloween. The Ham’O’Ween episode debuted a few days ago and is featuring 30 brand new levels for you to enjoy. But be careful, you will encounter skeletons, jack-o-lanterns and an eerie atmosphere throughout the levels. This Halloween episode marks the beginning of the game’s 2012 Seasons.

Rovio released Seasons for the first time last year, before Halloween. Since then, we have seen eight episodes based on different holidays, such as Christmas (the episode called “Season’s Greedings”), St. Patrick’s Day (“Go Green, Get Lucky”), or Easter (“Easter Eggs”).

Don’t Let Angry Birds’ Newest Cast Member’s Looks Deceive You

In addition to the new, spooky 30 levels, Rovio had another surprise for the fans: they released a new “angry bird”. This new bird, known for now as The Orange Bird, doesn’t look too dangerous at first sight, but don’t let this fool you. The pigs won’t know what hit them when this bird uses its special ability to smash their structures. To access the Orange Bird’s “angry side” you will need to aim the bird between two pig structures, let it drop, and then wait about 2 seconds for the bird to inflate into a huge orange balloon that will wipe out buildings. You can also trigger the bird’s ability by tapping the screen of your device, but as with the black bird, it work better and does more damage if you allow it to auto-inflate.

Besides the Orange Bird, Angry Birds’ Ham’O’Ween brings fans 6 achievements (iOS only), 1 hidden Golden Egg, a bonus level, plus the Mighty Eagle was released for Seasons as well. Here’s a tip, too: the black pumpkins scattered throughout the levels explode, while the pumpkins will yield 3,000 points.

You might think that this is all that Rovio has to offer for this holiday, but you’re wrong. If you are still undecided what you’re going to be this year for Halloween, then this info is sure to make you happy: the Angry Birds Halloween costumes are now on sale on Rovio’s website. If you purchase now, you will probably get the costume just in time for Trick-or-Treating. There are two different offers on their website, one allows you to purchase 3 costumes for the price of 2 (3 for $99.99), while the other offer is buy one costume, get a free plush toy.

Some fans hope for a Thanksgiving update as well, but it might be a little too soon to release another episode, thus a more realistic expectation would be Christmas. The Christmas update would be the second episode of Angry Birds Seasons 2012, and we can only hope that it’s going to be just as good as the Halloween episode.
