Development
Rovio Entertainment has no plans to release another Angry Birds crossover game since Angry Birds Transformers in 2014. In July 2017, Paramount Digital Entertainment suggested an Angry Birds / Mission: Impossible crossover idea to Rovio as Mission: Impossible – Fallout comes out next year after seeing three Angry Birds crossover games. There hasn't been any new Mission: Impossible game for a long time. Rovio is interested in Paramount's idea and they began its development on Angry Birds – Mission: Impossible in September 2017, with potential game release in July 2018. In February 2018, Rovio and Paramount pushed back its release to November 30, 2018, allowing more time on designing the animated cutscenes for each movie-based levels.

Change of ESRB Rating
The game was originally going to be rated T by the ESRB as shown in the teaser trailer in June 2018, but Rovio and Paramount reedited the animated cutscenes to tone down the violence in order to get the E10+ rating. Rovio Entertainment felt that the E10+ rating will be much safer for kids and families as Angry Birds games are family-friendly in mobiles. Another trailer was released in September 2018 with the E10+ rating for cartoon violence and comic mischief.
