All is fair in love and My Little Pony.

In addition, you'll also have the chance to unlock 4 unique costumes for each respective character, which offer their own special in-game bonuses when applied to your ponies. The new Equestria Girls update to Gameloft's My Little Pony is live right now on the iOS App Store and the Google Play Marketplace. And just to get your quick My Little Pony fix in before you download the update, you can watch the official trailer for the new Equestria Girls content right above this paragraph!

Welcome to Ponyville! Bada-boom! Given the phenomenal popularity of Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic cartoon series, nobody was especially surprised when Gameloft announced the coming of a Pony-based video game—but thousands of Bronies and Pegasisters were still excited by the news. Now that Gameloft has revealed more about its project, simply titled My Little Pony for now, we can truly say that freemium city-building is magic.
Gameloft has announced a licensing deal with Hasbro, the end result of which will be their development of My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop titles for smartphones and tablets. I have to imagine all you bronies out there are gleefully placing party hats atop your head. Who could blame you?
