Bethesda’s present mobile offerings consist of ports of DOOM and DOOM II, dungeon crawler The Elder Scrolls: Blades, vault management sim Fallout Shelter, collectible card game The Elder Scrolls: Legends, and…a pinball game. It really is a surprisingly diverse portfolio that has so far hit accomplishment.
