Rovio CMO Peter Vesterbacka has revealed the launch of Angry Birds Space will result in the franchise hitting entirely new platforms in the months ahead.
Speaking during 2012's South by Southwest conference in Austin, the self-billed 'Mighty Eagle' said the latest game in the series due to launch on iOS and Android on 22 March is to expand the studio's footprint beyond its already sizeable print.

"With all our games, we're going for all the screens: Smartphones, tablets, TVs, the web, so we really want to bring Space to all the screens as well," said Vesterbacka.
"As always, we have limited resources, so we can only do iOS, Android, PC and Mac for the launch, but the other platforms will follow shortly after."
The original Angry Birds has already spread is base across all major smartphone and tablet platforms, as well as feature phones thanks to a deal with Nokia and the web, via Google's Chrome.
Birdy base
Rovio's growth isn't going to stop there, however. With series-wide downloads topping 700 million, Vesterbacka said the firm's library will soon be launching on 3DS, with a PS Vita version also a likely possibility.
"We'll have our games on the 3DS pretty soon," he continued.
"The Vita we haven't decided what to do about yet, but of course we want to be on all the screens, so let's see how the Vita does in the market.
"And of course, always when working with these console guys it's not that we can decide, it's really if Sony wants to have Angry Birds on Vita. It's more up to them than to us."
