The Elder Scrolls: Castles Is Out Now, For Real This Time

As a seasoned Elder Scrolls enthusiast who’s journeyed through Tamriel countless times, I can confidently say that The Elder Scrolls: Castles is a delightful addition to the series, even if it comes in a smaller package. Having spent years battling dragons and navigating political intrigue, the prospect of managing my very own kingdom, where one day equates to a full year, is an exciting new challenge!


After suddenly emerging approximately a year back, The Elder Scrolls: Castles has now been released for mobile use. This title, following in the footsteps of Fallout Shelter, puts players in charge of managing their own kingdom. In this game, one day in reality corresponds to an entire year within the game.

Last month, Bethesda announced the launch date for The Elder Scrolls: Castles, now available on both iOS and Google Play. At that time, pre-registration was also opened, allowing early registrants to receive freebies for this mobile game. These rewards include 100 gems, a Dynasty XP boost lasting 10 minutes, a legendary pack, three banner decorations, and the legendary character, Ulfric Stormcloak. Bethesda advises that players must reach Dynasty level 25 before October 10 to receive these gifts.

Initially, The Elder Scrolls: Castles unexpectedly appeared on Google Play Store in September 2023. It was essentially released stealthily and labeled as an early access game without any formal announcement or prior notice. Later, in January, Bethesda surprisingly revealed The Elder Scrolls: Castles as a new game, neglecting to mention its earlier availability.

In “The Elder Scrolls: Castles,” players face significant choices about allocating resources for their realm, as well as enjoyable decisions concerning the arrangement of ornaments within their fortress. As the latest mobile game in the cherished RPG franchise since The Elder Scrolls: Blades debuted in 2020 (it was also launched on Nintendo Switch).

Meanwhile, Bethesda is also working on The Elder Scrolls 6, which doesn’t have a release date yet.
