Bethesda has released an update to Fallout Shelter that adds pets to the game. This will include Dogmeat, the dependable canine companion players recruit in Fallout 4 at the beginning of the game.On the game’s App Store page, Bethesda detailed all of the latest additions to the mobile title:
- Vault-Tec research has shown that four legged companions can have a profound impact on Vault happiness and productivity. Introducing Pets!
- Vault-Tec has received reports of some Dwellers not pulling their weight. Overseers are now authorized to permanently evict these lazy layabouts! Welcome to the Wasteland, slackers…
- Bored with the same pickup lines and conversations? Dwellers have finally learned some new ways to impress other dwellers and the opposite sex.
- Excessive tapping causing frustration when trying to clear out excess inventory? Overseers will love the new sell all options.
- Dweller management improvements and new objectives should help experienced Overseers keep things running smoothly.
- Even more Vault-Tec certified improvements and optimizations. Because you can never have enough improvements or optimizations.
Many of the other improvements, like the new “sell all” option in inventory, are quality of life improvements for those managing large vaults. This update includes Christmas themed decorations, much like the previous Thanksgiving and Halloween decorations.
Bethesda released Fallout Shelter as a surprise right after their E3 showing of Fallout 4 and have supported it with small improvements ever since. The game has become one of the top grossing titles on the App Store, along with being selected as an App Store Editor’s Choice, and winning “App Store Best of 2015” and “Google Play Best of 2015” awards. Fallout Shelter is available for free on Google Play and the iOS App Store.
