As the news post about The Elder Scrolls Blade Nintendo Switch version notes, you'll be able to play this game in either docked mode or in tablet mode. Just like the mobile version, you'll be able to play the Nintendo Switch edition completely for free — and it's arriving to Nintendo's hybrid handheld console later this fall. In addition, Mr. Carofano and Lafferty announced that you'll be able to link up your account and carry over any progress you've made on the mobile version over to the Nintendo Switch version seamlessly.

Of course, there are people who are playing the game on mobile right now and they certainly haven't been left out in the cold. A news post on Bethesda's website has some details on the new content that's dropping tonight. Firstly, free items are being given away for the duration of E3 2019 — simply log into the game to claim them. iOS players will receive the Crimson Kiss ruby ring, the Apple Pie banner decoration, and 200 Gems. Android players, meanwhile, can get the Cascadia sapphire ring, the Sweet Roll banner, and 200 Gems.

A trailer has also launched for tonight's update to the game:

A new Dragon questline featuring a mysterious Ancient Dragon and a dragonslayer has been added to the game. New jewelry and NPC voiceovers have also been added. Adjustments have been made to Jobs in order to accommodate Solo Arena Battles, and support has been added for players who are above Level 50.

The Elder Scrolls Blades will be coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. New content will be available in the mobile version of the game tonight.
