Whenever I need a reminder of how long I've been impatiently waiting for the next mainline Elder Scrolls game, I think back to how excited I got when I first heard the premise for The Elder Scrolls: Blades. A dungeon crawling, town-building spinoff with roguelike and PvP modes? Count me in, right up until I saw some gameplay and it was a pretty meh-looking phone game with oodles of in-app purchases.
Still, it raked in some cash when it first dropped and presumably had its fans, so I might have given it a go had it ever come to PC. That day hasn't come, and now, it probably never will: as user Avian81 shared on Reddit, an in-game banner and notice on the Nintendo eShop declare that it will permanently shut down on June 30.
