It seems that everybody around has already heard of the fabulous Angry Birds. Millions copies of the game was sold worldwide. Now  Pocket-lint reports that Angry Birds’ maker Rovio is almost ready to introduce a new game later this year.

The game, which is expected to be available sometime before Christmas, will feature a number of different pigs and -like the birds in Angry Birds - they will come with different strengths and skill sets.
