[dropcap style=”style1″]T[/dropcap]hough Fallout Shelter was a success for Bethesda (earning over $5 million in two weeks), don’t expect the game publisher to crank out more mobile games any time soon.

Vietgame.asia – In an interview with IGN, Bethesda‘s VP of PR and Marketing, Pete Hines, said: “We’d been thinking about [making Fallout Shelter] for a while. It was a case of ‘We won’t do it unless it’s a good fit.'”

He continued, “This isn’t the start of a formula where every time we make a game we need to do a mobile game… That’s not why Fallout Shelter was great… People appreciate the game because it doesn’t have our hand in your pocket. It did monetization in a way that people didn’t have a problem with.

If we just start saying yes [to more mobile games], we start getting into this thing where eight games will fail and two will succeed.”

At QuakeCon, Bethesda announced that Fallout Shelter will be available for FREE on Google Play for Android devices on August 13th, alongside a big content update which adds a Fallout 4 companion to the game.

Fallout Shelter is now available for free on App Store. Fallout Shelter requires at least an iPhone 5, iPad 3, or iPad mini 2.[su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: html5″ icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”http://bethsoft.com/en-gb”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: facebook-square” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://www.facebook.com/BethesdaSoftworks”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: apple” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fallout-shelter/id991153141?mt=8″][/su_icon_panel]
