Without a doubt, Bethesda hosted an incredibly bigE3 2018 press conferencethat contained such huge announcements asThe Elder Scrolls 6being in development, the existence of the all-new sci-fi franchiseStarfield, news thatFallout: 76is an online multiplayer title, and more. Alongside these bombshells were more minuscule announcements, but important nonetheless, as Bethesda’s Todd Howard revealed the existence ofThe Elder Scrolls: Blades, an Android and iOS title which can be pre-registered for now.
Those who wish to register for early access beforeThe Elder Scrolls: Bladesbecomes available to play later this year can head on over to Bethesda’s official siteright hereand one can provide the company with details related to their account. After this, fans will be registered to try out the first-person role-playing game for Android and iOS that will apparently feature console-quality graphics and include a variety of combat styles.
Described by Bethesda’s Todd Howard,The Elder Scrolls: Bladescasts players as “the empire’s top agents,” who return home to find that it has been destroyed. The story unfolds as players are forced into exile, with this narrative ostensibly involving the exploration of procedurally designed dungeons of some kind.
The Elder Scrolls: Bladeswill be played by tapping or using virtual dual sticks, with combat containing standard melee attacks, ranged attacks, and magical spells. Fans will also be able to playBladesin portrait mode on their phone should they desire a change in perspective.
All things considered, it will be interesting to see where Bethesda takesThe Elder Scrolls: Blades, as Howard explained that the studio alsowants to bring the mobile title to PC and consoles. With this being the case, there’s a good chance that Bethesda will eventually include cross-play capabilities.
The Elder Scrolls: Bladesis set to release for Android and iOS during fall 2018.
