New Elder Scrolls game announced but it’s not what you’d expect

Bethesda is set to have a very busy year. And, to make 2024 even more hectic, they have announced a brand new Elder Scrolls game. Called Elder Scrolls Castles, it’s a fun little distraction with a gorgeous art style. However, it’s not what you’d expect from the series as it’s not a ginormous AAA open-world to explore.

To see what’s in store for Bethesda over the next 12 months, you should watch the Xbox Developer Direct. MachineGames’ are under the ZeniMax umbrella same as Bethesda, and the Developer Direct will provide a first look at gameplay for their Indiana Jones project. Then, once the Developer Direct is over, Bethesda will provide a presentation showing all of the new content planned for Elder Scrolls Online for 2024.

While Elder Scrolls Online remains a popular juggernaut and Elder Scrolls 6 remains a distant dream, Elder Scrolls Castles is another fun game to anticipate.

Bethesda announces Elder Scrolls Castles

Bethesda has announced a new Elder Scrolls Game called Elder Scrolls Castles. It is a mobile game coming to iOS and Android. You can pre-register right now so you can play the very second it launches in your country.

While mobile game has a negative connotation, this is exciting as it’s comparable to Fallout Shelter and is from the same development team. BethesdaStudios‘ official Twitter announcement says the following:

‘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.’

Bethesda has not announced a release date, but the App Store mentions December 2024. However, this is most likely a placeholder.
