With The Elder Scrolls: Castles, the new game for the popular RPG franchise from Bethesda will be released in a few weeks. However, you should not expect an RPG, but a management simulation.
What do I need to know about The Elder Scrolls: Castles? This is the third mobile game for the Elder Scrolls franchise (after The Elder Scrolls: Blades and The Elder Scrolls Legends) that has been in Early Access since September 2023 and is according to the developers (via X) scheduled to be globally released on September 10, 2024, for Google Play and the App Store.
The spiritual successor to the hugely successful Fallout Shelter (which reportedly generated over 100 million USD in revenue within its first four years (via gamesindustry.biz)) shows you the various rooms of the namesake castle from a side view, which you will then control, manage, and expand.
You train subjects, appoint heirs, and maintain order. Additionally, you take on quests for the castle residents where they fight against well-known adversaries from the Elder Scrolls universe to fill the treasury with valuable loot.
Elder Scrolls: Castles is the quasi-sequel to Fallout Shelter – here is the trailer:
MeinMMO editor’s luck
How does Elder Scrolls: Castles play? MeinMMO editor Sophia Weiß looked at the mobile game in March 2024 and shared her impressions. She reports on dying kings, tricky decisions, and the diligent gathering of resources.
Throughout the game, the primary objective is to keep the subjects satisfied – for instance, by providing work, clearing potential dangers like fields with mildew, or mediating disputes between two parties.
Sophia’s first conclusion: “Castles skillfully develops the familiar features of Fallout Shelter and mixes it with the best of Blades and well-known and unknown lore from the Elder Scrolls series.” You can find more details about the game in this article: In the new Elder Scrolls game, my king was dead after a day, and his one-year-old daughter now reigns
