The best iOS and Android updates this week - (October 16th)
World of Tanks Blitz and Fire Emblem Heroes get updated
With World of Tanks Blitz and Subway Surfers getting their own Halloween updates, it really is feeling like the season. On mobile, at least.
There's also a swathe of updates for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Fire Emblem Heroes, Bacon: The Game, and more. Just hit the link below and see what your favourite games are adding this week.
1
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
You may have already seen the honking great Eevee that you can unlock in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp at the moment. If you haven't: it's a honking great Eevee. Your camp friends can cuddle it.
It's not just enormous statues though - you can also nab an Eevee hat for yourself, and a bunch of other Pokemon-related items if you collect special Pokeballs and trade them in.
Oh, Beau! You seem to have fallen in love with that giant stuffed Eevee. It's so fluffy and adorable…and oh so huggable! I confess, I want to give it a hug, too. Tee-hee! #PocketCamp pic.twitter.com/Y6uSJMg12D— Animal Crossing UK (@AC_Isabelle) October 15, 2018

Rules of Survival
If you like a bit of the ol' Weekend Rush on Rules of Survival, good news - it's become a permanent fixture. On weekends only, of course.
Other than that, there's improved sighted fire on Death Race Mode along with improved vehicle HP, and some other modifications and changes to the game overall.

Subway Surfers
The Subway Surfers are headed to New Orleans for their Halloween update, with graveyards, castles, and forests to run through. And probably some subways? It would seem weird if there wasn't.
You'll also find new character Scarlett, who is fittingly a vampire girl, along with a vampire outfit for Eddy. And there's bats to collect for weekly prizes. Spooky!

Fire Emblem Heroes
Fire Emblem Heroes taking up too much space on your phone or tablet? S'all good, now you can set it to Lite mode and reduce the size of the file - as long as you don't mind taking a graphical hit.
On top of that, there's a new, harder difficulty for Grand Hero Battles, if you didn't think the battles were tough enough for you.
5
Game of Thrones: Conquest
There's loads of weird stuff happening in Game of Thrones: Conquest. A Red Comet has been spotted, spies and mercs are digging through caves and ruins, and enormous shadows have been seen around the land.
What does it all mean? No clue. But we'll surely find out in the near future.

Bacon: The Game
No, really! Bacon: The Game got an update. I can't believe I'm reading these words either, and I'm the one typing them.
It's a fairly straightforward one too - there's more stuff to drop bacon on now. Nice and easy. Just like cooking bacon, I suppose.
As promised:
1. Tweet in the game
2. Endless bacon chat
3. Ad free (If you have supertype)#baconthegame pic.twitter.com/UcqOy4fAhw— Philipp Stollenmayer (@kamibox_ph) October 9, 2018

World of Tanks Blitz
While I'm unsure on the connotations of associating Halloween with Mad Max (horror = insanity? Not for me), a collaboration between World of Tanks Blitz and Mad Max: Fury Road vehicle designer Peter Pound is definitely worth shouting about.
Pound has designed two new tanks for the event - the Scavenger and the Gravedigger - which can be used in the new Mad Games map, which lays waste to the regular surroundings and replaces them with empty sand dunes. Just like in Mad Max!
