As Overseer, it's your job to ensure the survival of your fellow Vault dwellers, keeping them happy, managing resources, and exploring the post-apocalyptic world outside. Accompanying the Android version’s release this week is a free update that adds Mr. Handy, Deathclaws, and Molerats.

You know it’s August when the most noteworthy game launching in the week is a mobile title. While Fallout Shelter’s Android release is easily one of the most anticipated of the week, there are actually quite a few other games to get excited about. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, for starters, makes its debut on PS4 this week, followed by a re-release of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for PS4 and Xbox One. Check out the list of games arriving this week.

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture – PS4 – August 11th

Aside from Fallout Shelter, this is probably the most anticipated game of the week. Launching exclusively for the PlayStation 4, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is the spiritual successor to Dear Esther. Best described as an interactive piece of art, fully driven by a narrative experience (or perhaps, just “Walking Simulator), Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture has received glowing reviews.
