Bethesda is the company that brought us the Elder Scrolls series and it also brought us Fallout Shelter back in 2015. The latter was a smash hit game that was announced along with Fallout 4. Since then, it appears that Bethesda wanted to merge two of its most popular IPs together, to create Elder Scrolls Castles.
The company announced this game back in September of 2023 and we’ve been pretty excited to get our hands on it. Today, it confirmed that Elder Scrolls Castles has had a soft launch on both iOS and Android. The game is available to download in select companies like the Philippines. However, for the rest of the world, this game is up for pre-registration.
Elder Scrolls Castle is like Elder Scrolls meets Fallout Shelter
When Fallout Shelter was first revealed, people liked the concept. You’re in charge of building your own underground shelter just like the ones you saw in the console games. You would gradually build out your base while maintaining a growing society. It was definitely an addicting title, and remains active to this day.
Well, after about eight and a half years, Bethesda is looking to revamp this formula with a new twist. Elder Scrolls Castles, as the name suggests, is going to take place in the Elder Scrolls universe. In the game, rather than building an underground bunker, you’ll be building a castle. You’ll build your castle room by room while assigning jobs to your subjects. The castle will grow upward and outward.
Along with doing that, you’ll be making decisions that will impact your kingdom. So, you’re playing the role of the ruler. Each decision you make will affect how your kingdom grows and prospers.
Along with that, you will be heading headfirst into battle. In the trailer, we see soldiers going out to fight dragons and other enemies. We’re not entirely sure what you will gain from these battles, but it seems likely that you will gain resources like money and other Goods. So, battling will be a pretty big part of the game.
If you’re a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, and you really love playing Fallout Shelter, then you may want to give Elder Scrolls Castles a try.
