Halloween has come early for players of The Simpsons: Tapped Out! The latest update, from the writers of the show itself, is full of frighteningly Halloween-themed characters, quests and more! Homer has accidentally caused a meltdown that wiped out Springfield, and now it’s up to the player to rebuild it.
Players can now build a Giant Ray Gun to take down UFOs that are attempting to take over the city. Additionally, ghosts and gremlins now invade the streets of Springfield – they must be destroyed in order to protect the town. There are also new characters, buildings, decorations, quests and more! Here’s the complete rundown of the latest update, all available for a limited time:
