Bethesda is shutting down The Elder Scrolls: Legends

Usually publishers don't set too high demands for collectible card games - they just need a small but loyal fanbase. But not all companies have the same approach to such projects. Recently, Bethesda employees announced the closure of KKI in the "Ancient Scrolls" universe . It is no longer available for purchase in Steam, and soon will be left without servers and pages in stores. So ends the story that began back in 2017, when Legends was presented as a competitor to the famous Hearthstone.

The project did not do well from the very beginning. Two years after its launch, the publishers were forced to stop releasing updates for Legends, and on January 30, 2025, the game will cease to exist at all. But if you are still interested in this KKI, there is no more favorable time to get acquainted with it than the remaining days before the closing, because all paid in-game purchases from now on cost one gold coin. But you won't be able to download the client from Steam anymore - you'll have to look for other ways.

The number of regular connections to TES: Legends in recent years has not exceeded a few hundred, but nevertheless it had loyal fans. It is them that the developers thank in their final appeal. "We supported the game as far as maintenance was necessary, but that was the most we could do," the president of Sparkypants, the studio that developed Legends, told PC Gamer. The most intriguing thing about this whole situation is not the removal of KKIs from stores, but the fact that U.S. laws now allow you to specify that gamers are not buying a game, but a license to use it. That is, any product from your digital library can disappear at the decision of its authors or copyright holders.
