The Elder Scrolls: Blades is a free-to-play action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, released in 2020 for Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch. Set within the Elder Scrolls universe, it brings the series' fantasy RPG framework to mobile platforms, allowing players to engage in first-person combat and dungeon exploration on portable devices. The game was first announced at the Bethesda E3 Showcase in 2018 before its eventual rollout. As a mobile-focused entry in the long-running franchise, it adapts the core elements of Elder Scrolls gameplay — character progression, exploration, and combat — into a format suited for handheld and touchscreen play. Its free-to-play model makes it broadly accessible across both Apple and Android ecosystems, as well as Nintendo's hybrid console, extending the Elder Scrolls experience beyond traditional gaming hardware.
