It's hard to think of a time before Angry Birds. Whatever you may think it, alongside Clash of Clans it came to define mobile gaming, and Rovio is still one of the biggest developers out there to this day. Little surprise then that they're set to mark the latest milestone of an enormous fifteen years with a new swathe of events.

Friends will see Angryversary: Nostalgia Flight, a week-long tournament, while Dream Blast will debut a Jigsaw event.
