The Elder Scrolls: Legends Set to Sunset in 2025 as Player Base Declines

The gaming landscape is constantly evolving, and some titles inevitably find themselves fading into obscurity. This is the case for The Elder Scrolls: Legends, a card game that launched in 2017, which has struggled to maintain a significant player base despite being free-to-play. Unfortunately, it has been announced that the game will soon close its doors permanently. According to reports, the game has been delisted from Steam, and the servers are scheduled to go offline at the end of January 2025. The official statement indicates the following:

The Elder Scrolls: Legends servers will be taken offline on January 30, 2025. From now until that date, players can purchase all shop items and participate in in-game events for just 1 gold each, allowing access to the full range of content Legends offers. After the shutdown date, the servers will cease to operate, making the game completely inaccessible. We appreciate your support and hope you have enjoyed your journey in Legends.

For those who invested money into the game, this news is disappointing, as there will be no offline mode available, leaving any previous purchases without value when the game shuts down. The decline of Legends serves as a reminder of the uncertainties inherent in live-service gaming.
