The Elder Scrolls: Legends, the free-to-play card game set in Bethesda’s fantasy world, has been removed from sale on Steam. Its servers will shut down for good on January 30th, 2025, after which it will no longer be playable. The closure comes five years after the game was last updated.
Kidney blues.
For retroheads looking to show their love for old consoles, there are plenty of retro-styled controllers available for Switch. Usually they’re limited to a livery and an old-school colour scheme on the buttons, though.
They’re often missing modern features, too. With the Warrior Bluetooth Controller, NYXI hopes to appeal to GameCube aficionados as well as people looking for a fully functional Switch pad along the lines of Nintendo’s Pro Controller.

A saga of SaGa.
Final Fantasy. Kingdom Hearts. Mana. Dragon Quest. Chrono. Star Ocean. Valkyrie. Bravely. Square Enix has no shortage of RPG franchises under its belt, from those it’s developed in-house to beloved classics that it’s acquired over the years. But among all the space-faring action RPG and patisserie chef jobs, there’s one Square-developed franchise that manages to stand clear from the pack: SaGa.
SaGa made its mark on the world back in 1989 on the Game Boy, making it one of Square’s longest-running franchises. It’s never gained the popularity of its older cousin, yet SaGa has accumulated a die-hard following over the years for its dedication to being weird and different. Non-linear stories, ‘sparks’ and ‘glimmers,’ multiple playable protagonists, and multiple timelines are all par for the course here.

Wandering Kamurochō.
The weekend is here folks, so it’s time to wash away the stresses of the working week and relax with some gaming.
Before we find out what we’re up to this week, however, let’s see what’s been going on in the world of Nintendo. It’s been a bit of a big week, and although we didn’t get the ‘Switch 2’ reveal that many were perhaps hoping for, Nintendo did nevertheless launch a new ‘Nintendo Music’ mobile app and the Pokémon TCG Pocket mobile game. It also revealed the release date for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete along with a surprise Switch port of Xenoblade Chronicles X.

“Team Sonic has largely done a great job”.
Sonic X Shadow Generations launched on the Switch last week and Digital Foundry has now released its technical analysis.
In the original release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Sonic Generations ran at 880 x 720p at 30 frames per second. In the new Switch release, the game runs at 1080p and technically a “super-weird 31.5fps”. According to Digital Foundry, there’s a “constant stutter” in this particular version of the game as well.

BioWare currently has no plans for downloadable Dragon Age: The Veilguard expansions, seemingly scuttling any hopes for DLC on the order of fan-favorite releases like Trespasser or Awakening. Instead, Rolling Stone reports that BioWare’s “full attention has shifted entirely to the next Mass Effect” now that Dragon Age is officially out in the wild.
While BioWare didn’t offer any follow-up details in Rolling Stone’s report, IGN understands that the studio plans to support The Veilguard with quality-of-life improvements and a handful of smaller content updates. We have reached out to EA for more details.
BioWare’s decision not to release a DLC expansion may come as a surprise given its history with Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Baldur’s Gate 2. DLC episodes like Mass Effect 2’s Lair of the Shadowbroker, the Dragon Age 2 prequel Leliana’s Song, and the aforementioned Trespasser include some of BioWare’s best-loved stories, offering a deeper look at their worlds and characters. But having finally finished its decade-long journey with The Veilguard, BioWare seems ready to focus its attention on Mass Effect, which has been largely on hold due to the studio focusing all of its efforts on shipping Dragon Age.
In the meantime, fans are busy digging into BioWare’s latest RPG after Dragon Age’s release on Thursday, propelling it to new highs for an EA game on Steam. They have plenty to find even without DLC — estimates on IGN sister site HowLongToBeat suggest that it can take upwards of 88 hours to complete the main story while doing sidequests. We wrote in our review, “Dragon Age: The Veilguard refreshes and reinvigorates a storied series that stumbled through its middle years, and leaves no doubt that it deserves its place in the RPG pantheon.
