A new Elder Scrolls game has been released! Is itThe Elder Scrolls VI??? No you poor, sweet summer child, it’s another spin-off mobile game, of course. The Elder Scrolls: Castles is a Tamriel-set spiritual sequel to Bethesda’s 2015-released touchscreen property simFallout Shelter, which swaps the latter’s underground Vaults for big gorgeous hunks of medieval masonry, yours to expand, decorate and lord over as you please.

Downloadableon Android in early access form- though sadly, only in the US at the time of writing - the game sees you adding rooms, dropping monuments, and positioning your subjects so as to help your Elder Scrolls kingdom flourish. There are familiar Elder Scrolls races such as Argonians, and you can hire and train up warriors equipped with Elder Scrolls abilities like Whirlwind.
