Fallout Shelter update introduces cloud saves & Survival Mode

Bethesda has released a new update for hit mobile title Fallout Shelter that allows players to upload their Vault to the cloud and continue playing across any of their mobile devices.

Available to download on iOS and Android now, Update 1.2 also introduces a new Survival Mode that claims to deliver “more danger” and “more glory”, along with additional characters and tools.

There’s a new statistics page, too, and if you’re bored of playing through the tutorial each time you start a new vault, you can now skip that as well. Take a look below for the full list of changes:

• New Vault-Tec network protocols are finally in place. Now you can save your Vault to the “cloud,” (no moisture condenser necessary!) and continue any Vault experiment on all of your devices.
• Some Dwellers are reporting sightings of a mysterious individual in Vaults around the Wasteland. Vault-Tec is offering a bottle cap reward for any positive identification!
• Faced all the challenges the “normal” Vault simulation can provide? Introducing Survival Mode! More danger, More glory. Make Vault-Tec proud!
• New Vault-Tec directive – Dwellers have been given authorization to scavenge equipment from dead Raiders. Gear up!
• Are you an experienced Overseer who has already undergone Vault operational training? Now you can skip the tutorial!
• In an effort to assist Overseers in running their Vaults more efficiently, Vault-Tec has added a statistics page to the Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide (VDSG).
• Support added for Russian-speaking Overseers.
• Continued general maintenance to the Vault simulation.  Because when you speak, Vault-Tec listens!
• Available exclusively on the App Store, all new legendary character Piper from Fallout 4 and five FREE lunchboxes!

Fallout Shelter is available to download for free now on iOS and Android. Fallout 4, meanwhile, arrives on PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 10.
