The Elder Scrolls: Castles - Developer Deep Dive

Castles is the spiritual successor to Fallout Shelter, the popular vault-building mobile game that puts you in the role of an Overseer. 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 on September 10!

Guys you have to release ES6 before Grandma Shirley passes on from her mortal coil.

This is the type of game we really dont need a developer insight.

Why does this seem nothing like the elder scrolls?

[Absolutemooreon]

Is this an out of season april fools joke?

[JediMasterYoda]

looks absolutely nothing like elder scrolls

[JohnSmith-buzs]

How about some games where I don't need to enter my credit card information...

[Aerotactics]

I can just see all the microtransactions already, all the decorations cost money, boosts that cost money, building rooms will probably cost money. I think this will flop.

[WaffleCake]

Yes, Bethesda still released this game even though it _might_ have been popular in 2008 if it came free with Facebook.

This really didn't need to be a video.

Two gem currencies in the right side of the screen and even a “Rush” button at 2:17 Another crappy mobile game that most likely artificially increases the wait time of things to make you spend money. Won’t be playing it at all. Also TS is not a Nord, did yall use the fandom wiki ffs

[AthosZ]

This has absolutely nothing to do with TES

[thurenv]

2:28 really? A dummer and a khajiit? In front of my mushroom tower?

[ferhat_yigit]

3:10 this scene reminded me those fake mobile game ads lol

[THEirisheejit]

Holy shit. Classic corporate bullshit. Bastardization of a beloved and cherished franchise, a cobbled together cash grab mobile game, and a stupid fake interview-type advertisement. I love it!

I'm an old gamer, grew up with Atari 2600. I've watched a lot of game types evolve over the years but these mobile games are just not something I want. It is clear they make these companies a lot of money so more power to them but the monetization strategies are just not for me.

Who asked for this? Because it wasn't anyone wanting a new TES game.

[MightyKnight]

It's been 6 years since you updated us on The Elder Scrolls 6. Skyrim came out in 2011. It's 2024, what are you people doing?

[RyuAzuku]

I'll take "Things nobody asked for" for 100 Alex

[boredanesthesiologist]

Are you serious Bethesda? What is wrong with you?

[naplztk]

this whole company is so far removed from the fan base it's wild...from the main devs to zenimax with ESO 🙈
