Mega mobile hit Flappy Bird made a surprise return last week but something seemed off. Despite first-person language using “I” in the announcement, there was no mention of the twitchy arcade-style game’s original creator.

A revival of hit game Flappy Bird was announced recently, only to be exposed as a bizarre scheme by crypto bros who spent a decade trying to appropriate the trademark. They finally succeeded after the game's creator,

In a surprising turn of events, the iconic mobile game Flappy Bird, which took the world by storm in 2013, is set to return to app stores in 2025.

Flappy Bird took the world by storm in 2013 before being dramatically pulled out by its creator, Dong Nguyen, in 2014. It has now returned, but this time with a different team, a new platform, and crypto backers.

Evidence appearing to reflect development work on the new Flappy Bird reveals a pronounced focus on Web3 and crypto. The app was preparing support for numerous crypto wallets, and a leaderboard database references many crypto influencers. It’s as of yet unclear to what extent this focus may take in the final, released game.

The original Flappy Bird creator denounces the upcoming title. Reports hint that the game will be implemented with NFT and Blockchain elements.

"Flappy Bird" was slated to relaunch in 2024 after more than ten years of absence from the App Store — but there are signs that it's just a crypto Ponzi scheme.

Flappy Bird, the game that many were obsessed with a decade ago, may be coming back, but its original creator is not involved. On Sept. 12, it was announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the beloved game was returning.

Remember Flappy Bird? You know, that mobile game that became an overnight sensation for its simple-yet-frustrating setup, and disappeared almost as quickly? I was never a fan, but I found myself fascinated by the original creator’s apparent lack of concern over a potentially lucrative game.
