Elder Scrolls: Blades to Shut Down This Summer
The Elder Scrolls: Blades, Bethesda’s free-to-play mobile RPG released in 2020, will permanently shut down on June 30, 2026. Following the earlier closure of The Elder Scrolls: Legends, Blades will be the second Elder Scrolls mobile title to end, leaving The Elder Scrolls: Castles as the only remaining mobile entry. Critics cited long wait times and aggressive microtransactions as factors in its decline, though some praised its early core gameplay loop.
