00:00Hi, I'm Craig Lafferty, Director of Mobile Games for Bethesda Game Studios.
00:12And I'm Véronique Bruneau, Production Director of Bethesda Game Studios.
00:17And we're incredibly excited to show you The Elder Scrolls Castles, our spiritual successor to Fallout Shelter.
00:23Like Fallout Shelter, we wanted to give players the same fun, easily accessible, entertaining experience.
00:29But this time, with The Elder Scrolls.
00:33So let's jump right into The Elder Scrolls Castles.
00:39In Castles, you're the Hand of the King.
00:41And you'll manage your own castle by making a wide range of decisions.
00:47Every day in our world is a year in the game.
00:50Time passes, and the rulers change as you build your dynasty.
00:54Let's start by choosing your ruler.
00:57And then get to work customizing your castle from the ground up.
01:08Building a castle will feel instantly familiar to anyone that has played Fallout Shelter.
01:13But we also added a ton of flexibility and customization to the castle building.
01:18And the ability to edit it at any time.
01:20You can change the layout whenever you want.
01:24You can also add decoration to not only make your castle look great, but it also reflects your personality.
01:31Props and the decorations you place all have an effect on the gameplay.
01:41The way you customize your castle will influence the success of your dynasty.
01:45No two castles will be the same.
01:50You'll manage your own castle by making a wide range of decisions.
01:54We spend lots of time on the ruling system.
01:57Making sure it is fun, easy, but your decision has an impact on the subject in so many ways.
02:05An efficient ruler is an effective one.
02:08Make sure you assign the right people to the right tasks.
02:11Each of your subjects has their own personality with strengths and weaknesses.
02:15You can really make them shine in the right job.
02:19From your rulings, sometimes you'll see an immediate impact on subject happiness.
02:24Of course, there are other ways to make people happy.
02:27Making babies and creating their heir to the throne will ensure to have a lasting dynasty.
02:37It also raises morale among your subjects too.
02:39Keep them happy and your kingdom will thrive and grow for generations.
02:45But you can't please everyone all the time.
02:47But making the wrong call is an easy way to sow discontent within the castle walls.
02:54Disappoint your loyal subjects and risk losing your kingdom.
02:58It's not uncommon for someone to end up murdered after you make a ruling.
03:01Or worse, the emperor himself.
03:06You'll have the opportunity to decide who is next in line for the throne.
03:17Life goes on outside the castle walls too.
03:20Eventually, you'll need to venture forth if you want to find new resources and valuable gear and items.
03:25Using the outfits and weapons you've crafted in your castle,
03:28you can send your subjects on a quest to face classic Elder Scrolls creatures.
03:34And earn rewards to continue your legacy.
03:37The better you do on a quest, the better the rewards.
03:39Combat is simple.
03:43But it's worth a lot of debt.
03:45We like to say it's easy to play and hard to master.
03:48Complete all the objectives and earn three stars.
03:51Unlock new material you can use to craft an even better gear and level up your existing gear.
03:58We also have a roguelike mode where you face endless waves of increasing difficulty enemies for even greater rewards.
04:05Choose from unique enchantments that, with every attempt to see how far you can make it.
04:10It's a lot of fun, and we plan to add new enchantments over time to make sure that it's always a new experience.
04:18Thanks so much for your time today, and the incredible support you've shown Bethesda Game Studios over the years.
04:23And the best news is, you won't have to wait long to play.
04:26The Elder Scrolls Castles launches globally on iOS and Android on September 10th.
04:31You can get launch rewards if you pre-register now.
04:34Launch is just the beginning. We have a ton of great Elder Scrolls content planned.
04:38And we can't wait to see how you build your dynasty.
