FAQ

1. What is Legends Reborn?

Legends Reborn is a fan-made preservation project that attempts to recreate the server functionality required to play The Elder Scrolls: Legends after the official servers were shut down in January of 2025. Unfortunately for Legends players, they were left with no options for offline play, stories and puzzles, looking at their card collection, or even opening the game client. We are hoping to restore those options.

2. Is it playable right now?

The game is playable right now, however it is in a restricted access mode for a small number of volunteer testers.

3. How do I download the original game client?

You must have a licensed copy in your Steam library that was activated before the game was delisted, or a copy of the Bethesda.net client. We cannot and do not distribute the client.

4. Will multiplayer be supported?

Yes! Multiplayer matches, both casual and ranked are working and continually being improved.

5. Is single-player supported?

Yes! Story mode, puzzles, and practice matches against AI are working and continually being improved.

6. Can I use my old Bethesda account or collection?

Unfortunately that account and collection are lost. When Bethesda servers were taken offline, that data was taken with them. Currently, our plan is to allow players to unlock all cards or play through from the beginning if they wish. Premiums, titles, cardbacks, etc. all remain open to debate for now, and this is all subject to change based on community choice.

7. What features currently work?

Almost everything. We are mainly down to improving systems and fixing bugs at this point. You can login, receive a daily reward and quest, look at cards and build decks, add friends and chat, play the campaign, play ranked, etc.

8. Is this project legal?

Our goal is only to keep the game alive. It is intended as a non-commercial community preservation effort. The project does not distribute or sell Bethesda's game assets, does not charge for access, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bethesda or ZeniMax Media. Players must obtain a copy of the original game client separately. However, only Bethesda can determine how they wish to enforce their intellectual property rights. As with any fan project, there is always the possibility that they could request changes or discontinuation of the project. Bethesda has historically been very supportive of fan-made content and projects, and we hope that support will include Legends Reborn.

9. What platforms are supported?

At the moment, only PC is being supported. If and when a user-friendly mobile option is found, we will investigate but it is not currently in scope.

10. How can I help test or contribute?

Create an account. When more testers are added, or access is opened, you will receive an email. We do not accept donations or charge for access. Current costs are funded privately by us and all we ask for is patience. We are a very small team that work on Reborn during our free time, but we've made incredible progress with the help of the dedicated Legends community and look forward to seeing you on the mat!
