Speaking at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Rovio Mobile’s Peter Vesterbacka has confirmed when we’ll be seeing the next update to Angry Birds Seasons and what the theme will be.

It’s set for release on the 17th March and will be St. Patrick’s Day themed.  It will replace the current Valentine’s Day theme, which in turn took over from Christmas and Halloween.  Once more we imagine the update will be free for those who already own Seasons, but will require purchasing for first-timers.

The only hint as to what we can expect from the next version of Seasons was for Mr. Vesterbacka to hold up a plush green pig and exclaim ‘more of these!’ when asked about the content!

A St. Patrick’s Day theme has come as a bit of a surprise, as I was expecting an Easter-themed update, especially given the handily appropriate eggs already in the game!  Still, Easter is late this year, so perhaps Rovio will spoil us with two updates in as many months.
