Bethesda's instantly forgettable Elder Scrolls game is shutting down this month: Here's what its few players need to know

Armored warrior approaches a towering stone fortress at sunrise, with misty mountains, glowing castle gates, and a fantasy landscape stretching into the distance.

There's a good chance that, like me, you never even knew that The Elder Scrolls: Blades still existed. There's also a good chance that, like me, you've never actually played it. Which might not necessarily be a bad thing, but it has largely faded into the background since its launch.

Released in 2020 for Android, iOS, and, somewhat surprisingly, Nintendo Switch, The Elder Scrolls: Blades was a free-to-play spin-off designed specifically for mobile devices. The game never really resonated with critics or players, however, and currently sits at a Metacritic score of 42 alongside a user score of 2.7.
