Bethesda has taken the successful gameplay formula from Fallout Shelter and applied it to its other iconic franchise, the Elder Scrolls. The result is a game called The Elder Scrolls: Castles, which was soft-launched back in January.
Today, Bethesda revealed that The Elder Scrolls: Castles will launch on September 10 globally for iOS and Android. Although this is a free-to-play game, it has many in-app purchases, including a paid subscription option, bundles, and many more monetization options.
In Elder Scrolls: Castles, players can customize their castles from the ground up, adding and expanding rooms, placing decorations, and assign subjects to workstations to make sure that the castle has enough resources to thrive.
The more interesting part of the game lets players create heroes, equip them with powerful gear, and send them to battle against classic Elder Scrolls enemies to collect valuable items that will help their kingdoms grow.
