You read that right, Sonic is teaming up with Angry Birds. I’m not sure why this is happening, but I can only assume someone at SEGA was once slighted by a hedgehog. Maybe his family was murdered by a two-tailed fox, or perhaps he was forced to play Sonic Boom until completion. Please, if anyone at Sega is reading this -Stop killing your only franchise!
SEGA, in partnership with Rovio Entertainment Ltd., is proud to announce that today Angry Birds Epic will be appearing in Sonic Dash for a limited time on the App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Windows Phone Store. This in-game event will include three of the most popular and best-known characters from the Angry Birds franchise: Red, Chuck and Bomb.
We were thrilled with the opportunity to work with Rovio on this integration. The expressive, colorful, and fun characters from Angry Birds Epic lend themselves flawlessly to Sonic Dash and really enhance the overall experience.
This three-week in-game event will feature a different fan-favorite Angry Bird from Angry Birds Epic each week, including Red ‘Knight,’ Chuck ‘Mage,’ and Bomb ‘Pirate.’ Players will dash through the endless runner, collecting the special Angry Birds Epic tokens to unlock featured characters. Once a character is successfully unlocked, it will remain playable following the close of the event. Players will also have the option to purchase Red, Chuck, and Bomb using premium currency during the event.
