In a recent interview with GameInformer...

Todd Howard said that there hasn't been an Elder Scrolls title for mobile devices. Well then, what would you call the games that this board is for?

Exactly which video and at what point in that video did he say this? Regardless he probably just meant on recent mobile devices. Mobile gaming has changed a lot since the TES Travels game were released. Plus, Bethesda didn't actually develop the TES Travels games, Vir2L did, so he's technically right when he says that they haven't developed any yet (if that is what he said).

It's in the 3rd video right near the end. He says:

I don't think we would ever do a game experience like Skyrim on one of those [mobile] devices.


His reasoning was that he doesn't like to play games on a mobile device that could just be done better on another platform. He likes games that are tailored just for mobile devices, that take advantage of the system.

And he didn't lie, those "Travels" games are not like the other Elder Scrolls games, and like Antibody said they weren't developed by Bethesda Game Studios.

What he says is true, they haven't delivered a full experience on a mobile platform.
