Flappy Bird Returns: Now on Epic Games Store for Mobile

In the world of mobile gaming, few titles have captured the public's attention quite like Flappy Bird. Originally released in 2013, this game quickly became a cultural phenomenon, known for its addictive gameplay and simplicity. Now, Flappy Bird is set to make a triumphant return to mobile devices, this time through the Epic Games Store.

Currently available on Android, with plans for an iOS release, the new version of Flappy Bird offers more than just a nostalgic trip. While you can still challenge yourself in the classic endless runner mode, aiming to beat your high score, there's also a new Quest mode. This mode introduces fresh worlds and levels, with regular updates promised to keep the content engaging and new.

One of the key changes in this re-release is the absence of Web3 elements, which had stirred controversy in another recent game relaunch. Instead, Flappy Bird will be monetized through ads and in-app purchases, specifically for helmets that provide extra lives.

Yet, it's this very simplicity that holds a nostalgic charm for many players. The game's reintroduction via the Epic Games Store could be a significant move for the platform, especially as it seeks to attract mobile gamers with its weekly free game offerings. Flappy Bird might just be the draw that puts Epic Games Store firmly on the mobile gaming map.
