Elder Scrolls Games

With the Elder Scrolls Blades about to be shut down, the only mobile Elder Scrolls game available is Elder Scrolls Castles, which is a sort of simulation apparently.  I've not played it.

The main Bethesda games in the Elder Scrolls universe are Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim and Oblivion.  Only Elder Scrolls Online is recent but all are playable on the PC, PS4 and PS5 and the xBoxSeries X/S or the xBox One.  The Solo MMO's favorite by far is Oblivion.  If you enjoy roaming the countryside and the lore, this is the game for you.  (But if you love lore, seek out Morrowind.  The graphics are clunky but the story is wow.)

Elder Scrolls Blades To Shut Down June 30, 2026





I got an in-game notice this morning from Bethesda that they are shutting down the Elder Scrolls Blades servers on June 20, 2026.  The game won't be playable on mobile platforms or Switch after that.  To compensate players, Bethesda is giving everyone 50K gems and making all items cost 1 gem or 1 sigil.

Apparently this has been known for a few days as notice was posted to the Nintindo shop.
 
I understand the Elder Scrolls Blades website is already gone and the downloads from the mobile sites have been removed.  I will leave all my info about the game here so players at least can look up bugs and their fixes here.  

So go finish that dungeon, buy that armor or decorative statue, and take lots of screenshots.  I'm going to open the game, find my Nirnroot plant and listen to it chime each day until July 1.
