Remember Flappy Bird? The world-famous infinite tapper is back. Originally released in 2013, the basic yet intriguing smartphone game became an overnight success, generating roughly 100 million downloads and a massive ad revenue. However, just as quickly as it had gained popularity, inventor Dong Nguyen surprisingly decided to shut it down, leaving users extremely dissatisfied.
Having said that, Flappy Bird is slated to return in 2024 for all iOS and Android devices, following a decade-long absence.

“Just a decade ago, I was the talk of the town and soaring to new heights with my 100 million friends. Sadly, I had to leave the fame and spotlight behind to go home and find out who I really was. Thanks to my super Flappy Bird® fans, I’m refreshed, reinvigorated, and ready to soar again. The decade-long mission involved acquiring legal rights and even working with my predecessor to uncage me and re-hatch the official Flappy Bird® game!” the caption read.
The foundation also said that the game will feature new additions, characters, stages, and three new game modes while maintaining the original gameplay.
