Kicking off the week of conferences making up the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Bethesda yesterday announced and immediately released a brand new game set in the Fallout universe specifically tailored for iOS devices, called Fallout Shelter [Direct Link].
Revealed alongside long-awaited games like Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2, Fallout Shelter lets players make and run their own "Vault" dwelling, locations in the Fallout world that shelters the remnants of humanity following a nuclear fallout. The game, which is free-to-play, notably won't require an Internet connection for users to play and interact with the game.
Once players build their own personal vault, they'll be tasked with getting to know each of the characters dwelling inside of the shelter -- assigning jobs, outfitting them with gear and weapons and training them for the harsh outside landscape. Eventually, players will have to contend with threats attempting to enter their Vault, and with power struggles emerging from within.
Fallout Shelter puts you in control of a state-of-the-art underground Vault from Vault-Tec. Build the perfect Vault, keep your Dwellers happy, and protect them from the dangers of the Wasteland.
