Nokia has partnered with Rovio to launch Angry Birds Magic, a multiplayer version of the popular casual game exclusive to the Nokia C7 phone, the Finnish phone maker announced on a company blog yesterday.

Angry Birds Magic will make use of near-field technology (NFC) that will enable friends to play the game together. Players have to ‘unlock’ levels by touching two NFC-enabled phones together, or tapping their phones against NFC tags in objects, Nokia explained.

Of the 20 levels available in the new version, the first five can be played alone, but every consequent five levels can only be unlocked with the help of a friend or NFC tag.

“With Angry Birds Magic, friends can group together to combat the pig menace, in a new take on the game that so many people over the world have fallen in love with,” Rovio’s Mikael Hed said.

The game will come preinstalled on the Nokia C7 and will also be included on all of Nokia’s NFC-enabled devices this year.
