Update: The uber popular Fallout Shelter game now has a release date for Android users.

Thanks to QuakeCon 2015, Bethesda's annual fanfest, we now know that the little mobile game is arriving on August 13 for free from the Google Play store, worldwide.

Even cooler, a Fallout 4 character named Mr. Handy will be added to the Shelter roster to help you collect resources, fight off raiders and new threats like Deathclaw invasions and Molerat infestations. The update will come out on the same day for both iOS and Android platforms.

Original story below ...

With Fallout 4 only five months away from release, iOS gamers have been satiating their intense cravings by overseeing their own vaults in the cute mobile game, Fallout Shelter.

So far, Android owners have been left out in the cold (nuclear winters can be tough), but it now seems that Fallout Shelter is going to arrive on the platform in August, according to a response Bethesda's Pete Hines gave to a fan question on Twitter.

Hines told the fan that the game is coming along nicely, and that while there is no official release date, Fallout Shelter for Android "should be out next month."

Hopefully, the game will be enough to hold off fans until the Fallout 4 releases on PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 10.
