The new Angry Birds mobile game will be released in March! And it’s not just a level update like the “Seasons” version, but a whole new game inspired by the upcoming movie – Rio.

Rovio worked in collaboration with 20th Century Fox to include characters from the movie, which BTW will hit the theaters in April.

We don’t have all the details, but we do know that the game will be “like the original with a few new twists.” Moreover, it is said that users will be able to play a total of 45 levels with future updates to include “more levels and a surprise or two.” Finally, it is said that we should expect a lot more detailed graphics, “so lower performance devices might not work great.”

From what we’ve understood, Rovio will initially release the game for the iOS, Android and Symbian touchscreen devices. Windows Phone 7 was not mentioned, but we guess Microsoft’s platform will be supported in no time as well.

Can’t wait. The official game trailer promises tons of on-the-go fun. Check it out.

And here’s the official Rio movie trailer.
