What? A F2P Simpsons iOS Game?

Simpsons games, as a rule, have been pretty hit-or-miss. The arcade game was an instant classic, but some of the side-scrollers that showed up on various consoles throughout the 90s were utter garbage. The franchise saw renewed game-related praise for 2003’s Hit and Run, but has been mostly dark since then.

Well, Simpsons fans, your long wait has come to an end: EA is prepping a brand new Simpsons iOS game, titled The Simpsons: Tapped Out. The game will utilize writers from the show, as well as all of the relevant voice talent. Tapped Out revolves around rebuilding Springfield after Homer accidentally destroys it in a nuclear explosion.

The game is slotted firmly in the free-to-play notch, with the initial download being free but microtransactions aplenty. You’ll be able to trade your real-life cash for in-game doughnuts, which I can only assume will be used to unlock new characters and gameplay elements. Simpsons games are always risky, but with the writers and actors onboard, this should at least turn out interesting for fans.

Look for Tapped Out to hit the iTunes Store sometime this spring. And for you Android users (all five of you), watch for the game a few months after that. As usual.
