The Elder Scrolls Legends is fading into myth as development comes to a halt

In a move that is quite surprising, it has been revealed via the Elder Scrolls Legends Reddit page, that the game is no longer making any content or updates for the game, with the planned console versions scrapped completely.

Christian Van Hoose, the games community manager was the one who wrote the following:

We would like to provide an update on Legends in regard to new content. Our previous roadmap indicated we would be releasing one more set this year. We decided to put any new content development or releases on hold for the foreseeable future. This decision will not in any way affect the release and development of GAEA’s Asia-specific version of Legends, which is operated separately, but will inform our decisions on content and feature development going forward.

Until then, you can still download and play Legends on all existing platforms and compete online as well as in the single-player modes. We will also continue to support the game with monthly reward cards and regular in-game events. New expansions and other future content, however, are no longer under active development. We will continue to provide ongoing maintenance support.

To thank you all for supporting Legends these past few years, and for continuing to play with us, we are giving away The Tamriel Collection – an assortment of new, three-attribute cards and more – to all players for free upon their next login. We are immensely grateful to work on The Elder Scrolls: Legends, to have you as a community, and we sincerely appreciate the love and support you’ve given us.

While the wording does leave the servers up for sometime, I can’t see them lasting more than a few months, given the lack of revenue the game is no longer generating. You can still get the game, but if there is nothing new to come, that might change very soon.
