The Elder Scrolls Blades is a role-playing game for mobile and more. Here's the overview

-

The Elder Scrolls has been announced for mobile. The Elder Scrolls: Blades is a forthcoming role-playing game you can play on the go, right on your iPhone X or Android handset.

But it's so much more than that besides. The vision of this game is huge: in addition to being mobile first, Blades will be available for a wider range of platforms, including high-end PCs and virtual reality platforms.

Better still, as it's a cross-platform release, irrelevant of which source device you're using to play, all players will be present in the same world. So you might be playing one-handed on your mobile phone against someone else half way around the world who's donning a VR headset.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades features some interesting looking mechanics, such as the ability to play in both portrait and landscape mode on mobile devices. The combat is obviously different to the series' established games, in order to make it accessible to multiple platforms. As the screens above show, there's also plenty of scope for customisation and levelling-up, including character and city building.

So why now? As Todd Howard, director at Bethesda Game Studios, noted on stage at the company's 2018 E3 showcase, its previous app game, Fallout: Shelter, has reached more than 200-million players - which is more players than not just Bethesda's most successful game, but more than every single game the company has ever made, combined. And this is a decades-old company, so you can see the appeal.

Indeed, the company is going all-out when it comes to the series, with a tongue-in-cheek Skyrim launch platform video, and the announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6 also heading up the so-called #BE3 press conference at E3 2018. It's an exciting time to be a fan of Tamriel.

Syncing them to the rest of your build’s light show shouldn’t be an issue. All you’ll have to do is to plug them into the board’s RGB header and then using software like Asus Aura Sync or MSI Mystic Light Sync to control the effects. In case your board does not come with an option like that, the Strimer comes preloaded with 10 lighting presets. Sleeve cabling has always been an interesting thing to do with your PSU cables. Not only does it give it a n

Rumours suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S10 will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor are nothing new anymore. We've been hearing for a couple of years that Samsung will eventually introduce the technology but so far have yet to see anything. Now, according to a report from Korean news outlet ET News (via SamMobile ), the Galaxy S10 will finally get an in-display ultrasonic sensor, courtesy of Qualcomm.  Samsung Galaxy S10 specs, release date, news and rumours: What we know so far Apple and Samsung developing ultrasonic in-display sensors; won't appear until 2019 That last bit is a little unexpected, since a few weeks ago, another report out of Korea said that Samsung was in fact working on its own ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that it would then integrate with other non-smartphone devices, such as smart home devices and home appliances.  It's possible that Samsung either wasn't working on its own sensor at all, or it hit a few obstacles and would rather turn
