  • Flappy Bird is making a comeback and launching in Fall 2024 onto “multiple platforms” with an iOS and Android release planned for 2025.
  • ‘The Flappy Bird Foundation’ are a group of fans leading the revival, and have acquired the rights to the game from Gametech Holdings LLC.
  • The game creator famously hated the game and pulled it from mobile app stores over 10 years ago.
