The Elder Scrolls: Blades ends its mobile run this June as Bethesda shuts down servers

Bethesda will permanently shut down The Elder Scrolls: Blades’ servers on June 30, 2026. The game has been delisted from the App Store, Google Play, and Nintendo Store. In the lead‑up to shutdown, players will get a last hurrah: a free Gems and Sigils bundle and all in‑game items will cost just one Gem or Sigil. Blades launched in 2020 for Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch and never matched the success of Bethesda’s main titles; its Legends spinoff was shut down in 2019, leaving Castles as the remaining mobile Elder Scrolls option.

Overwatch Rush Brings Familiar Heroes to Mobile in Short, Three-Minute Skirmishes

Blizzard’s Overwatch Rush is a mobile spin-off set in the Overwatch universe. It’s still early in development and not a port of the core game, featuring eight familiar heroes, three-minute matches, and mobile-friendly modes like Nano Grab, Free-For-All, and a condensed Control-Point. Monetization is planned as free-to-play with cosmetic-only purchases, with a lengthy testing period before a full release.

Overwatch Goes Mobile: Rush Enters Early Testing on iOS and Android

Blizzard announces Overwatch Rush, a mobile-first top-down hero shooter built from the ground up for iOS and Android. The game is in early development and currently undergoing limited geo testing with a release date not yet announced. A dedicated Blizzard team (separate from Team 4) is developing it, focusing on fast-paced, bite-sized sessions, intuitive mobile controls, and optional in-app purchases in a free-to-play model. Controllers aren’t supported in the current version, and further content, balance updates, and testing will evolve based on player feedback via Discord.

Warzone Mobile to go offline in April after Activision cites underwhelming mobile-first reception

Activision Blizzard will shut down Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile on April 17, 2026, saying the mobile version did not meet its expectations for mobile‑first players; the game has not received new content since its app store removal in May 2025, guest accounts will no longer work, and players with unspent CoD points should spend them before the shutdown, while some unlockables can transfer to other Warzone titles and Activision accounts can still access other platforms.
