Bethesda’s ‘Fallout Shelter’ will arrive on Android 13 August

After E3 2015 and Bethesda‘s announcement of its two mobile games in development, Android users must’ve felt a little hard done by when the company announced that it will offer Fallout Shelter only for iOS initially. Well, that’s about to change.

Bethesda has now made the Android release date public on its Twitter account, and well, it’s about two weeks away on 13 August.

The mobile game that reminds quite a bit of The Sims franchise but piggybacks off Fallout‘s console and PC gaming success, is definitely one of Bethesda’s more successful ventures in recent times, with the game racking in over US$5.1-million in its first two weeks of its life. It’s even more impressive considering that it’s free to download and play. There are in-game transactions available though to boost your chances or interest in the title.

Overall, it has been a great year for Bethesda. With the announcement of Fallout 4 and a new The Elder Scrolls mobile game dubbed The Elder Scrolls Legends, the developer’s definitely on a roll.

Fans can also look forward to a bundle release dubbed the Fallout Anthology, which will recap the previous titles and spin-offs from the series and finally, the actual release of Fallout 4 later in November.
