# Modern Update Mobile Games Flappy Bird is Getting Another Launch with New Modern Changes By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flappy-bird-1 References: [community.designtaxi](https://community.designtaxi.com/topic/5109-flappy-bird-is-being-reborn-in-2025-with-a-few-modern-twists/)  Flappy Bird was a notable game in the past eras and there are plans in place for its return for 2025. It took millions of players by storm as the small bird weaved through an array of pipes. Developer of the game Dong Nguyen took the game off of the platforms in 2014 due to the addictive nature of the game itself -- it was then striped from the app stores. Now, a group of fans who have dubbed themselves the Flappy Bird Foundation have purchased the rights to the game and are bringing it back with a refreshing new energy. The revamped variation maintains the [nostalgic charm of the original game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacman-world-2-repac) whilst adding fresh new features. Some new functions include new characters to select from, an EZ mode, and a [battle royale mode](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-surfers-multiplayer).
