Five years after its last update, Bethesda's digital card game The Elder Scrolls: Legends has been removed from sale on Steam, and is set to go offline at the end of January.
We called The Elder Scrolls: Legends «a deep and potentially rewarding alternative to Hearthstone» when it launched in 2017, albeit one that needed a bit more juice in the art department, and a bigger playerbase.
Despite numerous post-launch improvements that continued to impress, those player numbers never really materialized, and it was unable to seriously challenge Hearthstone's grip on the mainstream CCG crown.
In 2019, Bethesda halted development of the game «for the foreseeable future,» which included cancelling the release of an expansion planned for that winter.
Legends remained available and playable, though, in both online and singleplayer modes; monthly rewards and in-game events also continued to flow.
