Bethesda Softworks has announced the launch of The Elder Scrolls: Legends Beta, which starts today. Beginning today, selected registrants will have the opportunity to begin playing in the game’s first closed PC beta, which is expected to last for quite awhile. Additional players will be invited to play over the next few months.
The developer describes Legends as a strategy card game that explores the Elder Scrolls series’ characters, creatures, deities and lore. The game can be played for short, or long lengths of time and is described as “easy to learn, but difficult to master.” Like other games of its ilk, Legends offers a variety of gameplay modes and challenges and is built with all levels of players in mind. Players can experiment with a variety of deck types and strategies.
“As a fan of digital strategy card games, I’m especially excited about having people play Legends,” said Pete Hines, Vice President of PR and Marketing at Bethesda Softworks. “We’re looking forward to hearing their feedback and having them help us shape the future of the game.
Other chapters in the game series include The Elder Scrolls Online and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The next major title in the series has yet to be announced, but it’s expected to be in development.
The game is in development in conjunction with Dire Wolf Digital for both the PC and iPad and other platforms will soon be announced.
