Angry Birds NFL tie-in with Philadelphia Eagles to arrive in the autumn
Touch-down
According to the Wall Street Journal, a deal between Angry Birds and the Philadelphia Eagles is set to be announced next Monday.
As part of the deal, an Eagles-themed Angry Birds title will arrive this autumn together with new stadium displays, a social media blitz, and appearances on local TV.
Inside the stadium, rather than the traditional sacking animations, footage of players being taken down by the birds will play out instead.
This news comes hot on heels of the announced Heikki Kovalainen tie-in we reported on last month, which is set to appear on the 18th of June.
