We started this letter off by thanking our fans, and it really is incredibly how far this game has come with their help. Everyone at Dire Wolf Digital and Bethesda love everything that people have done with the game, from community tournaments, fan-made cards, videos and so, so much more. It’s been an incredible first year and with everything we’ve got coming up, the next one is going to be even better as our Legends continue to gr

What was once a genre almost completely dominated by Magic: the Gathering Online has blossomed into an attractive revenue stream for major video game companies, and developers have begun to take notice. Blizzard's Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft totally changed the game by capitalizing on the elements of card games that could only be done in a video game medium, relying on RNG-based effects and smooth, crisp card animations rather than overly-complicated mechanics that reduce the amount of luck involved in a given g
The Elder Scrolls: Legends has been successful enough to warrant a major expansion, at least, and that's what gamers got when Heroes of Skyrim released late last month. The world of Skyrim was seen by fans as the most obvious inclusion for an expansion down the road, and Bethesda delivered early - but was it the right time, and has the game improved as a res
There are likely still plenty of bugs and balancing fixes on the way as the game's closed beta continues, but so far Bethesda is working with a very solid foundation. The game felt a little too much like Hearthstone at first, but once the runes, Prophecies, and lanes were introduced a few levels in, Legends really started to stand on its own. It's hard to make room for another card game in the rotation, but this one will be worth the ene
There are no limitations as to which games are nominated, and the winners will be selected by a group known as the International Choice Awards Network, an invitation-only committee housing 500 leading game creators from all over the indus
Although there are no unique hero class abilities like there are in Hearthstone , some of Legends' foundations are still incredibly similar to the Blizzard CGC. The sound effects, the GUI, and even some of the keywords are very reminiscent of the Warcraft -themed card game. That said, Legends does also bring some very cool new features to the table and it seems the delays have made it worth the wa
For those unfamiliar, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a game that has staked its reputation on being a hybrid of sorts - the same flash and nostalgia that fuels some of Hearthstone 's biggest moments with gameplay that is more closely aligned with Magic: the Gathering 's complicated, chess-like matches. That's been Legends ' selling point since day one, and it has definitely lived up to the billing, as its gameplay offers refreshing depth while still delivering an epic feel
Borderlands Legends brings back the cast of the original Borderlands - Mordecai, Lilith, Brick and Roland - in a wave-based shooter. Missions are randomized, characters can be leveled up, and players will be able to take advantage of a „strategic cover system.“ Conspicuously absent from the Legends ad is any mention of multiplayer, which is a huge part of Borderlands' allure on conso
Luckily for fans of the game, Bethesda and Dire Wolf are still very much aware of the space The Elder Scrolls: Legends occupies within the card playing community. Previously, RNG primarily existed in the form of Prophecy cards, which could trigger upon an opponent dealing an increment of five damage to a player's hero and could swing a lost battle back closer to even. It's a nice mechanic, though - one that makes the game a little more friendly to newer players while helping mitigate the skill gap between Legends ' best and the tier below them. It makes for some good storytelling, too, when recounting how a match hinged on the flip of a single c
Portal 2 , Skyrim , and Batman: Arkham City are just a few Arena of Valor hero builds the games (as expected) earned multiple nominations, but Uncharted 3 - even as acclaimed as it was - is not in the running for „Game of the Year.“ Other titles with multiple nominations include L.A. Noire , Battlefield 3 , and Basti
Now, Heroes of Skyrim has introduced a few more cards with the word „random“ on them, mostly centered around the introduction of the Shout mechanic. Shout cards level up whenever they are played (or whenever another card says to level them up), and they get increasingly more powerful to mimic the way that the Dragonborn learned and refined shouts over the course of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim . The Shouts never really feel game-breaking until they've been played a few times, and even then they're just powerful but not bro
Today, Bethesda announced that its free-to-play collectible card game, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, which has been in beta on PC since last year, is finally officially launching today on the same platf
