Bethesda Soft Launches "The Elder Scrolls: Castles" on Mobile

[T0@st]

We're excited to finally share The Elder Scrolls: Castles, our new mobile game from the team behind Fallout Shelter. The team has been hard at work on it for the last few years and we absolutely adore it. In Castles, you'll build your own dynasty where every day in our world is a year in the game's world. Citizens are born, they die, rulers change, and can be betrayed. This soft launch is one of the first steps as we get your feedback and make changes before it launches worldwide.

Let us know what you think and preregister at https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/castles to be among the first to play! The Elder Scrolls: Castles is currently available in the Philippines and will be available to more countries in the coming months. For any questions, see our Customer Support page here.




BUILD YOUR DYNASTY
Tell your story for generations - each day in real life covers the span of an entire year in The Elder Scrolls: Castles. Train your subjects, name heirs, and maintain order to help your kingdom flourish. Will you keep your subjects happy and ensure a long life for their ruler? Or will they grow discontent and plot assassination?

MANAGE YOUR CASTLE
Customize your castle from the ground up, adding and expanding rooms, placing lavish decorations and inspirational monuments, and even assign subjects to workstations to ensure your castle has the resources to thrive for years to come!

RULE YOUR KINGDOM
Make key decisions that impact your legacy. Will you risk a limited supply of food to aid a neighboring kingdom? How should a heated spat between your subjects be settled? Your choices determine if your rule will inspire prosperity or lead your castle to peril.

COMPLETE EPIC QUESTS
Create heroes, equip them with epic gear, and send them to battle against classic Elder Scrolls foes to collect valuable items and keep your kingdom growing.

Every day we stray further from Gods light.
Seriously, this doesn't even visually look like it has anything to do with TES. Even the long-tired Skyrim aesthetic that Beth shoves into everything is not present. At least Fallout Shelter, while cancer, was recognizably Fallout visually. Maybe MS should think about NOT diluting the valuable brands they have with literal trash?

Bethesda really have hit rock bottom, using their largest franchise's name on some completely unrelated mobile game to try and push micro-transactions. Same BS EA pulled on it's way to the bottom.

Not even a hint of TES DNA. They could have named it anything.

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Obvious p2w is obvious.

Oh God....

Looks like something Disney barfed up and left in the gutter after leaving an all night bender. Bethesda was leaving the same party and saw the pile of puke, scooped it up and slapped their "The Elder Scrolls" brand on it and and then proudly exclaimed, "Look what I did!" as they ran home to show their mommy.

I'm trying to figure out what demographic this game is supposed to be targeted at? Skyrim released 13 years ago and I don't know anyone that still plays it and even if they did, none of them would look at this game and think - damn, that looks like the world of The Elder Scrolls. I gotta get me some of that!

Looks pretty bad even for a mobile money sink. At least it uses something that resembles some of the elder scrolls races.

The Elders Scrolls:... Shelter

Fallout Shelter with a generic medieval skin.

They do this because mobile gaming is huge, in terms of sales. F2P games with microtransactions is the way to go really.

Not for me, but still a market with big money-making potential.

Mobile beats PC and Console revenue combined.

Luckily PC is gaining vs Consoles.
