Speaking to Yahoo! Games, Rovio said it plans to simultaneously launch Angry Birds Space in mobile gaming, retail, and animation channels, and that the company considers this title to be its biggest launch since the original Angry Birds in 2009.

"Science and education are very important to us, and we're very excited to have NASA and National Geographic as launch partners on Angry Birds Space," said Andrew Stalbow, GM of Rovio North America.

As the title suggests, you'll be flinging birds off-world this time - with all manner of strange gravity effects and super powers to exploit. There will also be new birds to ping around.
