Nine years after the successful launch of Fallout Shelter, Bethesda is now getting ready to release a new mobile game from the same team. But this time, it’s the Elder Scrolls franchise making its debut on Android and iOS. The new game, called The Elder Scrolls: Castles, promises an immersive experience that allows players to manage their very own kingdom, navigate political intrigue, and send heroes on epic quests, all in a free-to-play format.
After keeping the project under wraps for a while, Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls: Castles via its social media channels, expressing excitement about the upcoming release. The game has been in development for several years and the team is proud to finally share their creation with the world.
While the official announcement came recently, The Elder Scrolls: Castles has been available in early access form since September 2023 for Android devices. The soft launch of the game is currently limited to users in the Philippines, with plans to expand to more countries as Bethesda gathers feedback and further refines the gameplay experience.
The game’s store pages outline some of the key features that players can look forward to, including the ability to build and manage their own dynasty, customizing and expanding their castles, making important decisions that impact their legacy, and sending heroes on exciting quests to battle classic Elder Scrolls foes.
The Elder Scrolls: Castles introduces a unique time mechanic where each day in real life covers the span of an entire year in the game. Players will need to train their subjects, name heirs, and maintain order in order to ensure their kingdom’s prosperity. However, they also need to be wary of discontent among their subjects, which could lead to assassination attempts and other threats.
Customization is a key aspect of the game, allowing players to build and expand their castles, decorate with luxury items and monuments, and assign subjects to various workstations to ensure the kingdom has the resources it needs to thrive. The game also puts players in control of important decisions, from managing food supplies to mediating disputes among subjects, with the outcomes shaping the trajectory of their rule.
Of course, no Elder Scrolls game would be complete without epic quests and battles. Players can create heroes, equip them with powerful gear, and send them off to face formidable foes from the Elder Scrolls universe. This not only adds an exciting element to the gameplay but also allows players to collect valuable items to further enhance and expand their kingdoms.
Although a full launch date for The Elder Scrolls: Castles has not been set, interested players can now pre-register for the game on the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android devices.
With this new addition to the Elder Scrolls franchise, Bethesda is once again expanding its mobile gaming portfolio. As the team behind Fallout Shelter, this latest release is sure to generate excitement among fans of the series, as well as appeal to new players looking for a captivating and immersive mobile gaming experience.
The Elder Scrolls: Castles marks another milestone for Bethesda’s mobile gaming division, and based on the early access release and the promising features outlined, the game is poised to make a significant impact in the mobile gaming industry. Keep an eye out for further updates and announcements as Bethesda prepares for the full release of The Elder Scrolls: Castles.
