Rovio Entertainment has unveiled details for the next iteration of its Angry Birds franchise, Angry Birds Go!.

The new global app, which was previewed at Brand Licensing Europe this week in London, will be released globally Dec. 11.

“We are thrilled to see so much creativity around our Angry Birds property and can’t wait to welcome these companies on board as we continue to delight our fans with innovative product lines,” says Naz Cuevas, senior vice president, global consumer products licensing, Rovio.

The company has also signed a raft of new licensees for the classic Angry Birds franchise, including:
