The Elder Scrolls: Castles, a new mobile game, launches 12 September

In Castles, you'll take on the role of the right hand of the king (or queen) and manage your kingdom. You'll build the castle of your dreams, rule over your subjects, and make critical decisions about your kingdom's future as you build your dynasty.

Get ready to go down in Tamriel's history books because The Elder Scrolls: Castles launches globally in select countries/regions on September 10! Read on to learn more about the game and how you can pre-register and earn in-game bonuses.

What Is The Elder Scrolls: Castles?

Just like Fallout Shelter, The Elder Scrolls: Castles is immediately accessible and easy to pick up and play for a short time, but it also offers a lot of depth. It has extensive lore, support for player choice, and all the little details that you expect to find in a true Bethesda Game Studios experience.

Each day in real life is a year in the game. You'll see your subject's lives pass, select future rulers, and set your kingdom up for a successful future. It'll be up to you to handle issues like food and rationing and even solve conflicts among your subjects.

Your castle is yours to customize from the ground up! As you expand your castle, you'll build workstations that will produce vital resources like lumber, food and oil. Of course you'll need people to staff these workstations, but it's not as simple as just assigning random subjects. Each person living in your castle has different traits that will make them better for certain types of rooms. Assign people to the right workspaces to make your castle run more efficiently.

Remember, happy workers are hard workers! You can help your citizens create families (or destroy families…) and let your inner interior decorator design rooms (and ultimately a castle) that will make them happy and help them grow. But you can't please everyone. Keep an eye on people's happiness or you might need to find a new ruler to replace the one they violently overthrow.

And of course, life goes on outside the castle walls. Eventually you'll need to select brave subjects to venture forth if you want to find new resources and valuable gear and items.
