Flappy Bird Is Coming Back To The App Store In August With Multiplayer

In case you liked to play Flappy Bird game before it was pulled from the App Store for mysterious reasons.. Today we’ve got some great news from the game developer.. Vietnam-born Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen previously said that he will be bringing the game back to the App Store. 

Having just been live from the New York Stock Exchange on CNBC’s Closing Bell, Nguyen once again confirmed that the game will make a return to the App Store soon. This time around, he was willing to share some specifics and confirmed that Flappy Bird will include an all-new multiplayer mode…

The journalist wrote on Twitter that the game should land in the App Store in August. The new game is said to be “less addictive” than the original.

Prior to its removal, the game was downloaded over 50 million times. “Please give me peace,” Nguyen tweeted before pulling the game from the store.

With nearly one-third of new February game releases being Flappy Bird clones that to this date plague the store, even the likes of Rovio have decided to cash in on the popularity of Nguyen’s game.

Nguyen reiterated to CNBC that Flappy Bird was just a tad too addictive and said he felt that people should do other things than obsess with boosting their score to brag about it on social media.
