Flappy Bird, the short-lived but beloved mobile game from 2013-2014, is making a comeback. Over 10 years after its developer, Dong Nguyen, removed the game from the App Store, it is being re-released under new ownership.
A group of long-time fans has worked with Nguyen to secure the rights and revive the original game. The upcoming re-release, expected in 2025 for iOS, will feature new game modes, characters, and more, bringing fresh life to the viral hit.
Flappy Bird originally rose to fame in early 2014, topping app charts and generating $50,000 per day. Despite its success, Nguyen pulled the game due to unwanted fame and concerns about player addiction. Now, fans of the game will have a second chance to enjoy it with modern updates.
