Bethesda Delists Elder Scrolls: Blades as Server Shutdown Set for June 30, 2026

The always-online design means the game will vanish for good when servers stop.

Overview

  • Bethesda has removed The Elder Scrolls: Blades from the Switch, iOS, and Android stores and will close the game’s servers on June 30, 2026.
  • An in-app banner and a notice on the Nintendo eShop announced the plan, first shared publicly by Reddit user Avian81.
  • Until shutdown, all store items cost 1 Gem or 1 Sigil, and players receive a free bundle of currency to access all content.
  • Because the game never offered an offline mode, it will be inaccessible after June 30 and its unique story content will no longer be playable.
  • Reports highlight early spending followed by steep decline, with Sensor Tower estimating about $20,000 in revenue last month, and the move follows the 2025 shutdown of Elder Scrolls: Legends.
