OpenMW-DS 1.0.0 Brings Morrowind to Dual-Screen Android Handhelds
The fan-built project, developed by Josh Daniels on the OpenMW engine, supports the AYN Thor and splits gameplay from menus on the second screen.
OpenMW-DS, a fan-made project that runs The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind on Android dual-screen handhelds, has reached version 1.0.0 earlier in 2026, according to gamerant.com. The project is built on OpenMW, the open-source recreation of Morrowind's engine.
The tool arranges the game with a Nintendo DS-inspired layout, separating gameplay from interface elements so that menus and information appear on the second screen. It supports the AYN Thor handheld, one of the dual-screen Android devices the project targets.
OpenMW-DS was developed by Josh Daniels and also supports Tamriel Rebuilt, the fan-made world expansion for Morrowind.
An older game kept running
Morrowind was originally released by Bethesda in 2002 and is more than 24 years old. OpenMW has kept the game playable on modern hardware, and OpenMW-DS extends that work to dual-screen Android devices.
Bethesda's next major entry in the series remains TES 6.
