SAN FRANCISCO, LONDON – June 11, 2015 – Sonic gets by with a little help from his friends for a celebration of epic proportions. SEGA, in partnership with Rovio Entertainment Ltd., is proud to announce that today Angry Birds Epic will be appearing in Sonic Dash for a limited time on the App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Windows Phone Store. This in-game event will include three of the most popular and best-known characters from the Angry Birds franchise: Red, Chuck and Bomb.
"We were thrilled with the opportunity to work with Rovio on this integration," said Chris Southall, CTO of Hardlight. "The expressive, colorful, and fun characters from Angry Birds Epic lend themselves flawlessly to Sonic Dash and really enhance the overall experience."
This three-week in-game event will feature a different fan-favorite Angry Bird from Angry Birds Epic each week, including Red 'Knight,' Chuck 'Mage,' and Bomb 'Pirate.'
