The Elder Scrolls: Legends has confirmed that it is shutting down on January 30, 2025, removing players' ability to play the digital card game for good. While The Elder Scrolls: Legends has already been delisted from Steam, players who have the game on PC and mobile can continue to play the game until this date.
The Elder Scrolls: Legends was first released back in 2017, when it faced ample competition in the digital card game genre. Other titles such as Hearthstone have something of a stranglehold on the genre, and The Elder Scrolls: Legends largely failed to find an audience despite its connection to Bethesda's wildly popular RPG franchise. The game's Steam population peaked at almost 9,000 players back in 2017, although this quickly cratered. By 2020, its Steam player count had fallen into the hundreds and never recovered, in part due to The Elder Scrolls: Legends being put on hold in late 2019. It has had no updates since.
Baldur's Gate 3 may have reignited the use of some classic RPG elements, but Elder Scrolls 6 will likely take a different route.
