An announcement was made from Rovio’s official Twitter account on February 21, 2023, regarding the changing availability of the game. You can read the announcement below:
“We have reviewed the business case of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, and due to the game’s impact on our wider games portfolio, we have decided that Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will be unlisted from the Google Play Store on Thursday, February 23. Additionally, the game will be renamed to Red’s First Flight in the App Store pending further review.

We are extremely grateful to the Angry Birds fans who have shown their love of the brand and this game from the beginning. We hope those fans can continue to bring that passion to our live Angry Birds slingshot games such as Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds Journey, and Angry Birds Reloaded, where our goal every day is to craft the best possible experience for players.”
