Earlier this week, Rovio teased their upcoming 'Angry Birds' game with a video showing a bird hiding in a suit of armor and the tagline of "it will be epic."
Well, the new game, soft launching in Canada and Australia, is actually called 'Angry Birds Epic' and will be a step away from their traditional games.
The latest will be an adventure RPG with turn-based combat, and will also include a crafting system (popular in many other games). Finally, the company says the game will have a "challenging endgame."
As part of the crafting system, gamers can use in-game currency to build armor, weapons, potions, etc, and the currency can be won or purchased through Rovio for real money.
After its soft launch this week, the title will see a global launch for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 later in the year.
