Flappy Bird Reboot Hits Epic Games Mobile

Flappy Bird is making a comeback on mobile platforms

The iconic endless runner game has now launched on the Epic Games Store

While currently only available for Android, an iOS version is planned for future release

Few mobile games have achieved both the popularity and notoriety of Flappy Bird. When it first launched in 2013, it became an instant phenomenon, widely regarded as one of the most addictive mobile games ever created. Its upcoming return through the Epic Games Store is generating significant excitement among fans.

The Android version of Flappy Bird introduces several new features that set it apart from the original release. Players can still challenge their high scores in the classic endless mode, or explore fresh content through the new Quest mode, which promises ongoing updates and additional levels.

This revived edition notably avoids incorporating any Web3 elements, which proved controversial in previous re-releases. Instead, monetization will be limited to advertisements and in-app purchases for helmets that provide extra lives.

A Beloved Classic Returns

After more than ten years since its initial launch, Flappy Bird's simple gameplay might appear charmingly old-fashioned compared to modern mobile hits. It's remarkable to recall how this uncomplicated game once sparked sensational rumors - including unfounded stories about disputes over high scores leading to violence.

Yet many players still cherish the game's pure, straightforward fun. This nostalgic appeal makes Flappy Bird an excellent addition to the Epic Games Store's mobile offerings. While the store's weekly free games have drawn attention, Flappy Bird's return might finally establish its mobile marketplace as a major destination for gamers.

While Flappy Bird's return is noteworthy, numerous other excellent games deserve recognition too. For those interested in discovering standout titles beyond mainstream storefronts, we recommend exploring our regular Off the AppStore feature highlighting exceptional releases.
