Rovio, makers of the Angry Birds franchise, have announced the release date for their upcoming title, Bad Piggies. This new game is the developer’s first venture from the traditional bird flinging action, and promises to give a better insight into just how these ingenius villains go about foiling the bird’s plans.

According to Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio,

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.

This new game will be launched on iOS, Android and Mac on September 27, with Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions following soon after.

According to Rovio, there will be much news still to come before the release date, so to keep up with all the Bad Piggies information, head over to their site, follow them on Twitter, or like their Facebook page.
