Flappy Bird, the viral mobile game that took the world by storm in early 2014, is set to make a comeback in 2025 across iOS, Android, and web browsers.

The Flappy Bird Foundation Group has successfully acquired the Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings, which obtained it from the game's original creator, Dong Nguyen.

Plans for the revival include introducing a new version of the game featuring additional characters, modes, and expanded gameplay.

Despite the game's immense popularity and revenue generation from in-game advertisements, Nguyen previously refused to sell or license the game's rights.

Gametech Holdings obtained the trademark after it expired when Nguyen took the game offline, raising questions about the legitimacy of their claim.

The original Flappy Bird game was removed from app stores in 2014 by Nguyen, who cited concerns over its addictive nature and the disruption it caused to his life.

The upcoming version will include exciting new features such as a 'rivals' mode for competitions with up to 99 players, a basketball-themed mode, and an 'EZ mode' for beginners.

While the revival has generated excitement, there are concerns about whether it can recapture the original's success in a vastly changed mobile gaming landscape.

The Flappy Bird Foundation's mission to revive the game has been described as a 'decade-long mission' to acquire legal rights and collaborate with past developers.

A one-minute trailer showcasing the new game has been released, although details about its features and exact release date remain limited.

The return of Flappy Bird is particularly notable as it comes amidst a long wait for other major game releases, highlighting its significance in video game history.

As anticipation builds, the Flappy Bird Foundation aims to engage both new and returning players with a fresh experience that honors the game's legacy.
