Remember Flappy Bird? The super addictive mobile game that drove us all crazy. Well, it’s coming back after being offline for ten long years. Originally developed by Dong Nguyen, Flappy Bird was removed from app stores just a year after its launch, leaving millions of fans disappointed.
However, a new group called The Flappy Bird Foundation Group is bringing the game back in 2025. A team of dedicated fans has officially acquired the rights to the game from Gametech, LLC, which previously claimed it from Nguyen.
Nguyen, the original creator, had abandoned the game and didn’t bother defending the rights. But thanks to the Foundation, Flappy Bird is set to return better and bigger than ever.
I AM BACK!!
