New The Elder Scrolls game from Bethesda is already out. However, it's not exactly the game most gamers were hoping for.

Unexpectedly, because without any announcement, Todd Howard's team released The Elder Scrolls: Castles, which is a mobile game designed exclusively for Android devices (via PCGamer).

Castles is a game deceptively reminiscent of the acclaimed Fallout Shelter, only that set in the world of Elder Scrolls and having a slightly more cartoonish visuals.

At the core of the gameplay, however, is still the management - in this case of a castle or, if you prefer, a kingdom - in which we expand our fortress, make a few choices, take care of resources, send citizens to complete specific tasks and look after their welfare.

That's not all, however, as the gameplay will also take us on special epic adventures, during which our warriors will face off against beasts known from the main installments of The Elder Scrolls.

"Take control of your own castle and dynasty. Supervise your subjects as the years pass, families grow and new rulers take the throne. Build your dynasty," reads the brief product description in Google Play store.

It is worth noting that the mobile game from Bethesda is available for free. The Internet has already seen a ton of videos depicting gameplay in Castles.

According to the information on the game's product card, the title has launched in early access (all indications are that, for the time being, only in the United States), which certainly means that there are still many changes to come. This gives a lot of hope that in the future the game will also come to other systems, and maybe even hardware platforms, following the example of the aforementioned Fallout Shelter.
