Report: Multiplayer Flappy Bird swooping, crashing in August

4.1
Dong Nguyen, the creator of viral sensation Flappy Bird, has reportedly told CNBC's Kelly Evans that the game will make a return in August, with new multiplayer-centric features. Evans tweeted the news earlier today, as did CNBC's social media team.

Nguyen took Flappy Bird down earlier this year, claiming it was addictive. How the addition of multiplayer would help solve that is anybody's guess, but this isn't the first time Nguyen has considered reviving his flappy phenomenon.

Back in March, when it was reported that 60 Flappy Bird clones were hitting the mobile market every day - that's 2.5 every hour, or one every 24 minutes - Nguyen said he would consider making the game available again, albeit with a warning that cautioned players to take a break from playing.

CHUBBYninja I got to say this is a little late. Most people are over this phase and have moved o to a new addicting game... I don't think k this game will be as massive as it first was.


this is true, you see it a lot with music as well, a group comes out with one song that everyone becomes addicted too, they pull out another after a while and it never takes off

Miss This guy is just going to make a ton more of money now. Never understood why he took it down in the first place.


You just explained why he took it down. To make a ton more money now, create hype and a want/need for the game so everyone will buy it again especially since it now has an "upgrade" which he probably had all along.

I still have Flappy Bird on my phone as of now, but it's still nice that they're bringing it back to the app store. And multiplayer for it will be really cool.
