Rovio announces Bad Piggies

Rovio has announced Angry Birds spin-off Bad Piggies.

The game will let players take control of the pigs for the first time, with all new gameplay and no slingshot.

CEO of Rovio, Mikael Hed, said: "There's a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the Angry Birds games, and we've been constantly asked: what about the pigs' side of the story?

"Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes."

Check out the teaser trailer below.

Bad Piggies will launch 27 September for iOS, Android and Mac, with versions for Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC following after.
