The new "season" is called NBA Ham Dunk. It includes 15 free levels, which have you playing through against various bad piggy teams in the fictional NBA Global Games, which take you to levels in Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, and more. There are also special stages for all 30 NBA teams, but you'll have to pay an additional $1.99 as an in-app purchase to gain access to those levels.

In addition to the new levels, there are new birds to use as well. In the NBA theme, there is a new Spalding Ball bird, which blows up like a balloon to take out a larger area. There is also a new Shockwave bird which will send out an electric shock in a circle around itself to take out the piggies. Even better, you can use the new Shockwave bird at any time, including to get another shot after exhausting your standard set of birds.

While iOS and Android devices have been treated to this new update, it looks like Rovio has chosen to leave Windows Phoen users out yet again. We hope the update wont take long to arrive on the Windows Store.
