Formula 1 themed Angry Birds Heikki set to launch in June

Angry Birds developer Rovio has hinted that the next iteration of their popular franchise will be titled Angry Birds Heikki. The game, whose web version is set to be unveiled on June 18 will be based on a racing theme.

The company made a low profile sponsorship deal with Finnish Formula 1 racing driver Heikki Kovalainen, who is currently sporting the Angry Birds racing themed helmet. The game is expected to feature fun levels and other personalised content.

Rovio has been much talked about lately for Angry Birds clocking 1 billion downloads and Angry Birds Space being downloaded 50 million times in just 35 days. Also, in an attempt to do things differently, Rovio had recently announced its next project titled Amazing Alex.

So will we see the notorious pigs sporting racing helmets while the furious birds unleash their rage on the tracks? Let's wait and watch!
