The Elder Scrolls: Legends shutting down in 2025

The Elder Scrolls: Legends

Several years after its last update, Bethesda has decided to shut down The Elder Scrolls: Legends, their card battling game based on their fantasy RPG series.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends will shut down permanently on January 30th, 2025, nearly eight years after the card game launched in March of 2017.

The news of the game shutting down comes alongside it getting pulled from availability on Steam, and players launching the game will get a new message confirming the shut down.

“From now until January 30, 2025, all items in the store and entry into in-game events will be available for 1 gold each, so you can enjoy all the content Legends has to offer,” the new message reads. “On that date, servers will be shut down and the game will be inaccessible. Thank you for playing and we hope you have enjoyed your time in Legends.”

Bethesda actually shut down active development on the game “for the foreseeable future” back in 2019, so the game has effectively been in maintenance mode for years.

After the active development on the game was shut down the game remained available until now, though it is still playable online and in single player modes if you got it beforehand.

Some fans of the game are upset because despite being free-to-play since its release, The Elder Scrolls: Legends naturally had the option to use real money for in-game microtransactions – all of which are going away in January.
