Windows Phone 8 can now finally get the Hoth update for Angry Birds Star
Wars. Rovio Entertainment had rolled out Angry Birds Star Wars for
iOS, Android and devices on November 8, 2012. But the Windows Phone 7
(Windows 7.5 and Windows 7.8) and Windows Phone 8 users had to wait for a
good one month to get this app on their mobile device.
However, this
app for Windows Phone 8 only had Tatooine, the Death Star, and the Jedi
Trials on Dagobah levels, while that of iOS and Android users had got
the first instalment of Hoth update as well. Later, in January iOS and
Android users got another Hoth update, while the Windows Phone users
were kept waiting.
Thankfully, the Windows Phone 8 app that has
been rolled out includes the last two previous Hoth releases, which
means that one will get total of 40 new levels, in addition to some
bonus levels. However, these Hoth levels will be locked by default and
one will have to play the earlier levels of Tatooine, the Death Star,
and the Jedi Trials on Dagobah lvels to be able unlock the new ones.
Angry
Birds is one of the popular games on the mobile. Since the launch of
the app in 2009, the Angry Birds game has been downloaded more than one
billion times across various platforms and versions. Some of its popular
titles include Angry Birds, Angry Birds Season, Angry Birds Space and
Angry Birds Reo. Angry Birds Star Wars is the most recent venture by the
company.
After the success of the game Rovio Entertainment is
also producing an Angry Birds 3D animated movie which is expected to
release in 2016 and there are plans for theme parks in various parts of
the world.
Just a day ago, Spotify app for Windows Phone 8 became
available for the Windows Phone 8 smartphones. It is noteworthy, that
this app was earlier available for Windows Phone 7 users. With the
addition of Angry Birds Star Wars, we are hoping that the company will
continue to add applications with the same momentum even in the future
and we will finally get to see some quality apps in the Microsoft
Marketplace.
