The Elder Scrolls: Blades – Update 1.7 and Nintendo Switch Release

The Elder Scrolls: Blades, Bethesda’s mobile action-RPG, has apparently been going through early access all this time, and the latest 1.7 update signifies the end of this particular stage of the game’s lifespan and marks its full release. The update resets the game’s leaderboards, introduces a whole heap of new quests, and fixes a number of bugs. You can find the complete patch notes over here.

At the same time, the game is now live on Nintendo’s portable Switch console, featuring cross-progression and an optional premium Quick Start Edition. Here’s the official launch trailer:
