Bethesda announces the upcoming card game, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, a free-to-play game for the iPad and PC. The Elder Scrolls: Legends competes with Blizzard's Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. The strategy card game is expected to be released later this year.
During its E3 2015 conference, Pete Hines, VP of Bethesda Softworks announces The Elder Scrolls: Legends as a free-to-play game that rivals Blizzard's popular card game, Hearthsone for iPad and PC. There are only few details known about Legends, but gamers will expect factions among The Elder Scrolls' Elves, Ghouls, Orcs, and Nords as they enter Tamriel. IGN reports that The Elder Scrolls: Legends may also bring together some elements from Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc. Hines said that Legends' genre is very close to his heart and is looking forward to sharing more details of the new game soon.
The newly-released trailer for The Elder Scrolls: Legends is reportedly has a resemblance to Hearthstone, Blizzard's huge hit free-to-play strategy card game according to The Verge. Both card games are based on a fantasy world but Legends seem to offer more.
"Dive into the newest adventure in The Elder Scrolls series with The Elder Scrolls: Legends - a free-to-play strategy card game. The Elder Scrolls: Legends will bring together the rich lore and exciting worlds in The Elder Scrolls series conveniently to your iPad or PC later this year."
