Elder Scrolls Blades kills chest timers, adds PvP, and delays Switch release

Major things are afoot in Elder Scrolls’ mobile title. Bethesda just revealed the tentpole features of Blades Update 1.5, and none of it is small potatoes.

For starters, Bethesda is yanking out the much-loathed chest timers that required players to wait (or pay) to open their lawfully earned treasure. Along with this change, better and more loot will drop from enemies, PvP fights will break out at the new arena, and players finally can band together to form guilds.

“Our goal is to make Blades as rewarding to play through as it is fun, and we think these changes will help us do just that,” the studio wrote.

With all of this good news, you just knew there had to be some bad coming, so this is it: Bethesda is delaying the launch of Blades on the Nintendo Switch from this year to “early 2020.” When it does arrive, however, you can expect to enjoy cross-platform PvP between mobile devices and the Switch.
