According to Kotaku, the next Angry Birds game is going to be a turn-based RPG called Angry Birds Epic. The game will soft-launch in Australia and Canada (so that Rovio will have time to gather feedback from a smaller audience and tweak the game before a general release) and it will have a crafting system.

Considering what Rovio did with another genre spin-off, Angry Birds Go, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of In-App Purchases for casting spells, summons, or getting more powerful equipment and items for crafting. IAPs were overused in Go, so I’m a bit skeptical about Epic.
