Bethesda recently released its latest game in the franchise, The Elder Scrolls: Castles, and brings another mobile game installation for players to enjoy. The new smartphone-based game will take users on a different kind of experience based on The Elder Scrolls franchise which focuses more on building and designing a castle, as well as ruling the land.
However, it is not your typical castle-building role-playing game (RPG), as it would also test users in their effectiveness as a leader, with their subjects allowed to revolt against their king or queen should they find them useless.
Apart from this, rulers can also designate their subjects to specific jobs in the kingdom, with players given a chance to venture into quests with their created heroes, going against familiar Elder Scrolls adversaries.
One of Bethesda Game Studios' most popular gaming franchises is The Elder Scrolls, and it has withstood the test of time in the industry after recently turning 30 years old earlier this March. This particular game, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, was first launched in 1994 for the MS-DOS platform, with Bethesda making the renowned classic downloadable for free via its website.
Since then, Bethesda followed up the franchise with new game releases, but more importantly, it grew in popularity because of its numerous expansions and DLCs made available for gamers. However, the company focused more on mobile games, expansions, and The Elder Scrolls Online lately instead of its mainline releases.
Still, its 2011 game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, still sees a large player base until now, and it was repopularized with the arrival of generative AI tools like ChatGPT which added more depth to non-playable characters (NPCs).
While waiting for more information and the rumored 2026 launch of The Elder Scrolls VI, Bethesda treated gamers with several free games and new offers on its online game. Now, gamers are treated to build their kingdoms and rule the land however they see fit, with The Elder Scrolls: Castles introducing a new kind of gameplay for all.
