Flappy Bird, the viral mobile game from 2013, is making a comeback in 2024 after a decade-long absence. The Flappy Bird Foundation, which acquired the game's rights, released a teaser announcing new features like characters, stages, and game modes while keeping the original gameplay intact.
Remember Flappy Bird? The world-famous infinite tapper is back. Originally released in 2013, the basic yet intriguing smartphone game became an overnight success, generating roughly 100 million downloads and a massive ad revenue. However, just as quickly as it had gained popularity, inventor Dong Nguyen surprisingly decided to shut it down, leaving users extremely dissatisfied.
Having said that, Flappy Bird is slated to return in 2024 for all iOS and Android devices, following a decade-long absence.
