Overview
- An in-game message confirms servers for the free-to-play spinoff will go offline on June 30, 2026, ending access to the game.
- News reports over the weekend noted the game had already been delisted from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Nintendo eShop, blocking new downloads.
- As a parting gesture, Bethesda set every shop item to cost 1 Gem or 1 Sigil and granted all players a free bundle of currency to unlock content before shutdown.
- Blades never offered an offline mode, so the shutdown will make the title unplayable and erase access to its quests, town-building, and PvP features.
- The game saw strong early uptake but later revenue slumped, with Sensor Tower estimates citing a steep decline, and Bethesda has not provided a reason for the retirement.
