Rovio has announced that it will be bringing the Angry Birds Trilogy to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo 3DS. The company dropped some hints previously that it would be bringing the popular games from mobile devices to consoles, and now Rovio has said it will bring upgraded versions of the games to three consoles. There's no word on when the Trilogy will be officially released, but the company is current working on enhancing the games.
Rovio's Executive Vice President of Games, Petri Järvilehto, says the team reworked all the games for HDTVs and consoles: "There are new cinematics, extras and other entertaining content. In addition all of the existing material has been uprezzed and re-treated for the high-resolution and big screen." Backgrounds have also been animated, and there are several lighting modes as well.
Angry Birds, Angry Birds Season, and Angry Birds Rio will be sold on one disc (or cartridge in the 3DS' case), although there's no mention of Angry Birds Space, or if the Trilogy will include the extra free levels found on iOS and Android. The company says that there are those with consoles perfectly content with a "casual" gaming experience, and that's exactly who Rovio is targeting with this release.
The games will also support Kinect, PlayStation Move, and StreetPass. There's no firm release date, but Rovio says it should be available to purchase in time for the all important holiday season.
