Plot
One sunny day, the Angry Birds arrived at Bird Island which became post-apocalyptic after being abandoned for years with it becoming a hideout for the pigs but the pigs found out that it was about to drown underwater so the birds decided to save their old home and their eggs before it drowns underwater with them succeeding in the former but failing the latter. The pigs escaped on the piglets' helicopter with the Angry Birds being captured until Judge Peckinpah managed to find them by using a slingshot from Piggy Island to Bird Island but however, some piglets managed to find him and started to attack Bird Island again and defending the birds' cage so Judge Peckinpah decided save Bird Island and The Flock before it's too late which in both he succeeded. After succeeding to save Bird Island and freeing the birds, the birds and Judge Peckinpah took over the piglets' helicopter to fly back home but the pigs escape the helicopter and went back home on Piggy Island to crash the helicopter using TNT and it landed into an ancient underwater palace so the birds decided to defeat Emperor Pigcoptus and land back home before it's too late. While on their way through, the birds founded Reece and Julie who were both prisoners of Emperor Pigcoptus. Stella freed Reece while the rest freed Julie because Stella thought Reece is a handsome guy. Reece and Julie thanked the Angry Birds for freeing them and Reece decided to kiss Stella but went on to help the Angry Birds defeat Emperor Pigcoptus. Pigcoptus had captured everybody except for Reece and Stella but the two freed Julie and their friends. Reece became the new king of the seven seas but let Julie do his job for a while. Arriving back home at last, the birds used the slingshot to go into space but unfortunately, the pigs went to space as well so the birds and Ice Bird helped save the eggs before the pigs landed back home. Arriving back home, the birds get all the help they need while the pigs do the same for one last battle that changed the course of history forever. The birds split into teams with "Team Classics" consisting of Red, The Blues, Matilda, Chuck, and Bomb, "Team Giants" consisting of Terence, Tony, Judge Peckinpah, the Mighty Eagle, and Bob Wingman, "Team Forgotten" consisting of Hal, Bubbles, Ice Bird, Slash Bird, and Hockey Bird, and "Team Newcomers" consisting of Stella, Silver, Melody, Reece, and Julie. The teams fought against the pigs till the eggs hatched making King Pig very, very, very, angry. King Pig threatened to kill the new-born birds who hatched out of the eggs, Max, Edna, and John but Piggy McCool put a banana peel on the floor making King Pig trip over and lose his crown. Piggy McCool now became King McCool. The next day, the birds told King McCool that they could sign a truce to bring peace all over the world. King McCool agreed. The birds and pigs said one last goodbye with Max, Edna, and John learning how to say goodbye.

Note: The following information are non-canon to the main story.

Later on, the pigs arrived in Camp Splinterwood and the birds followed the pigs but King Pig captured Piggy McCool so the birds had to stop the pigs from taking over the camp with the help of some old friends and foes freeing Piggy McCool on the way. McCool regained his crown but he got brainwashed telling the pigs to go to Rio to team up with the Marmosets, Nigel, Gabi and Mauro to attack the famous city so the birds, Blu, Jewel, Tiago, Carla, Bia, Rafael, Luiz, Nico, Pedro, Linda, and Charlie teamed up to stop them turning Piggy McCool back good. Later on, most of the birds and pigs were accidentally transported to the prequel trilogy with them being their Star Wars characters and some were even duplicated to become different characters. The birds were defeated by the pigs but Red as Luke Skywalker and Stella as Princess Leia were born so they and their allies defeated Darth Vader and the Pork Side. McCool went on holiday but accidently dropped his crown making Smooth Cheeks the king once again. The birds arrived at their home country to meet Tony but unfortunately, the pigs have arrived so the birds and their snowy friend teamed up to defeat the pigs and save their home country. The pigs launched an attack on Eagle Island so the birds, Zeta, and the other eagles teamed up to save Eagle Island. Later, the birds and pigs accidentally arrive at the attack on Piggy Island and the pigs have teamed up with their old selves at the time so the birds and their old selves prevented this moment from being altered. On a snowy day, Chef Pig finds his old Wizpig clothes and wand, and puts them on to capture the birds and pigs with his powers. The birds and pigs tried to defeat Wizpig but were captured by him and they were captured. In the deep oceans, Reece and Julie sensed that the birds and pigs are in trouble so they freed the birds and pigs before Wizpig tried to capture Reece and Julie as well but Wizpig's main plan was to kill the new-born birds who hatched out of the eggs, Max, Edna, and John. Reece gained new powers on the way which allows him to use other birds' powers. The other birds and pigs were freed and had a truce until the pigs stole the eggs and went to a portal to Springfield. The birds except for Reece and Julie followed them but unfortunately, the pigs have teamed up with the Simpsons' enemies such as Sideshow Bob, Snake, Nelson, Jimbo Jones, Kearney, Dolph, Mr. Burns, and Smithers so the Angry Birds, Simpsons, and their friends teamed up to defeat the villains before they planned to conquer both worlds. McCool returned from his holiday and was shocked that everyone but Reece and Julie went missing but the portal opened with the crown landing on his head and all the birds and pigs came out.

End of non-canon information.

Back on Piggy Island, the events from the pigs arriving in Camp Splinterwood to the birds and pigs returning to Piggy Island were just stories being read to Max, Edna, and John by Piggy McCool.

Gameplay
Like the original Angry Birds, players use a slingshot to launch birds at nearby structures; a key difference in Angry Birds: The Chronicles is that the player can pick whatever birds they like to use in the level just like in Angry Birds Star Wars II and Angry Birds 2. The player can even use birds they didn't unlock in the main story yet and the player can add more birds even if the player runs out just like in the former but the feature can only be used if the player finishes a level. The player can also use pigs too if they completed the world.

This can give the player more freedom by allowing the creation of their own unique strategies. The main enemies of the game are green-colored pigs of varying sizes, who can be defeated using birds, objects or terrain damage. The specialized pigs who can defend themselves from birds in various ways, such as knocking them back with projectiles, attracting the birds via a tractor beam, move away from the danger, or even transforming the birds into random objects return from Angry Birds 2. These retaliatory tactics, though sometimes effective, can end up backfiring at times.

Depending on the player's score, they will earn ether 1, 2, or 3 star(s).

Trivia

 * The reason why Red, The Blues, and Matilda are the main trio in Angry Birds: The Chronicles and as a matter of fact, the first three birds to be unlocked, is because Matilda is the only bird from the original flock to not be in a main trio yet.
 * All the extra episodes in Angry Birds: The Chronicles are non-canon because all the birds and pigs including Chef Pig signed a truce after Final Battle on Piggy Island.
 * All the returning characters' voices from Angry Birds: Summer Madness respire their roles from the series in Angry Birds: The Chronicles.
 * Angry Birds: The Chronicles is the second game since Angry Birds Star Wars II to be paid with the first being Rovio Classics: Angry Birds.
