[Trailer Added] Fallout Shelter-Management Mobile Game Out Now On iOS
Alongside Bethesda's many Fallout 4 announcements comes news of a new mobile game, where you manage a shelter.
The game is out now on iOS and Android some time later. In the game, you manage a vault and its dwellers to try and make sure everyone is happy. The game is inspired by games like Little Computer People, XCOM, SimCity, and FTL.
Every dweller in your vault has full stats that you can level up. You can get them new outfits and items, and they can reproduce to make new vault dwellers. You can send people out into the wasteland, build all kinds of new rooms (like a bar that raises charisma, and classrooms to raise intelligence). You will also have to look out for raiders and attacks from creatures.
The game will not require online connectivity, or have a timer, or paywall, but you can buy lunchboxes full of random loot if you want. The game is available now.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
