Overview
- Bethesda has removed Blades from the App Store, Google Play, and the Nintendo eShop and set June 30, 2026 for the server shutdown.
- All in-game items now cost 1 Gem or 1 Sigil, and every player gets a free bundle of both currencies to sample all content before the cutoff.
- After the shutdown, the game will not run because it never offered an offline mode.
- The company gave no detailed reason, but reporting cites steep revenue decline, with early estimates near $1.5 million and recent monthly revenue near $20,000.
- This follows the January 2025 closure of The Elder Scrolls: Legends and leaves The Elder Scrolls: Castles as the lone mobile entry, prompting community calls to preserve Blades’ story and purchases with an offline option.
