What was Angry Birds Pop! initially titled?

Angry Birds Pop! was initially titled Angry Birds Stella Pop.

The game began as a Stella-focused spin-off and was originally released under the name Angry Birds Stella Pop! It used a tile-matching, bubble-popping format rather than the physics puzzles of the original Angry Birds. Rovio co-developed it with Outplay Entertainment, and the early version centered on Stella and her friends.

Angry Birds Stella Pop! was soft-launched for iOS in Canada in December 2014. It then received a worldwide release for iOS and Android in March 2015. The name changed to Angry Birds Pop! in a July 2015 update, which also brought classic Angry Birds characters into the game.

That naming history explains several common mix-ups. Angry Birds Stella is a separate platform game, while Angry Birds Pop! is the bubble-popping title. Angry Birds Blast and Angry Birds Match are also separate games in the broader franchise, not the original title of Pop!. The rebranding made the game’s connection to the main Angry Birds brand more prominent.
