After almost two months of iOS exclusivity, free-to-play mobile hit Fallout Shelter will be released on the Android platform this August, developer Bethesda Softworks announced.

The soon-to-be COC challenger Fallout Shelter will be downloadable to Google Play store starting August 13. Along with its arrival on Android, the game will also receive a few new feature that will roll out on both platforms.

Express UK reports that the Fallout robot assistant, Mr Handy is set to be added to the game as some sort of reward and will help collect resources automatically from around the player's Vault. He's capable of exploring the Wasteland and can be used to defend the player's Vault from Raiders. With Mr. Handy's appearance, new enemies come as well. Some of these villains are the dreaded Deathclaw and Molerats, as an added infestation scenario alongside Radroaches.

Like what was mentioned, Android users will get the update at the same time as those on iOS when the game is released on Android.

Just a nice little Fallout backgrounder from PC Advisor, in a nutshell, Fallout Shelter is a mobile game that gives gamers complete control over their very own Vault and its residents called Dwellers. The aim of the game is to create the best vault to keep Dwellers happy, fed and protected from the dangers of the outside world in this post-apocalyptic adventure.

Gamers are provided with a variety of modern-day rooms to help make their Vault thrive, with rooms for food, power, weapons and more - but it's down to gamers to decide who works in which room. Each Dweller has its own personality, which will make it ideal for important designation, but bad at the rest. Also, some of the Dwellers can venture out into the Wastelands above the shelter. Sending a Dweller into the Wastelands can yield great results, like bringing home armor and weapons, gain great experiences and earn precious Caps. However, that dweller also risks dying. But of course, a gamer never wanted killing off his community, as his Vault needs people or Dwellers to thrive. Lastly, the Vault owner has to prepare his Dwellers to protect the vault, both from the outside and within.

Moreover, Tech Times reported that Fallout Shelter is doing really good in the gaming market arena. They got off to a fast start when it was launched last June. Bethesda was reportedly drawing in more or less $5.1 million during its first two weeks. The game's critical acclaim underscores the importance of a strong brand in a relatively crowded market for games according to a research firm, Tech Times highlighted.

Analysts agree that Bethesda's emphasis on unobtrusive monetization and offline playability greatly earned the respect of a consumer that's why this game is such a big hit.

Just a flashback, Fallout Shelter was released June 2015 during Bethesda's E3 conference and was gleefully welcomed by fans of the Fallout series. However, many were left disappointed when it was announced that it'd only be available for iOS devices. But the long wait is over, Fallout Shelter will be out sooner than expected and it has some awesome updates packed with it.
