Summary
Fallout Shelterhas released a brand-new update based on theFalloutTV show, giving fans of the series a reason to revisit the mobile title.Fallout Sheltersees players take charge of their very own Vault, and now, there’s a lot more content available in the game.
Fallout Shelterwas first released in June 2015, just a few months prior to the release ofFallout 4. Its addictive gameplay quickly made it one of thebest mobile simulation gameson the market, allowing it to find an audience based on the strength of its mechanics rather than the IP it’s based upon. In the years that have followed, the game has received plenty of updates, bringing even more new content, such as quests and vault dwellers. Almost nine years on from its initial launch, it’s great to see that Bethesda hasn’t abandoned the game completely.

Asconfirmed by Bethesda,Fallout Shelterhas received a huge update based on theFalloutTV series, adding a ton of new content from the show. The number of additions is huge, with an entire new questline featuring eight quests, new locations, as well as six unlockable vault dwellers, including Lucy and The Ghoul. It doesn’t stop there, either, with new themes, weapons, and outfits seen in thecritically acclaimedFalloutshow. This includes a pre-war cowboy outfit, The Ghoul’s revolver, and a wedding dress with a bandolier. On top of all of this, players can also claim a Vault 33 jumpsuit for free until May 7.
Fallout Shelterisn’t the only title in the series to receive an update during the release period of the TV adaptation. It was recently revealed that ahugeFallout 4update is coming on April 25, finally bringing the game to current-gen consoles, alongside a ton of new Creation Club items for free. Unfortunately, none of the items seem to be related to theFallout TVshow, but no doubt this is something that modders could tackle later down the line in the PC version of the game.
New Additions to Fallout Shelter
TheFalloutfranchise is in a great spot at the moment. Fans seem to be largely happy with the TV adaptation, and it’s a series that new viewers could enjoy without the context of the video games. WhileTodd Howard is resisting a possibleElder Scrollsadaptationat the moment, ifFalloutcontinues to receive massively positive word of mouth, it’s possible that this could change with the right pitch in the future. As for any futureFalloutgames - word on that front has been quiet for a long time, and hopefully, its success in the TV medium prompts some movement on a new title.
