The Elder Scrolls: Blades is looking more and more likely to be releasing on Switch next week. It doesn’t appear to be May 12 as initially thought, but May 14 is very possible. That’s because new listings for the game have now appeared on the Switch eShop.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades

We first found out that Bethesda would be bringing The Elder Scrolls: Blades at last year’s E3. But back in November, it was announced a delay that pushed the game to early 2020.

The primary piece of information concerns what was included in this week’s Nintendo Download report. It seems to have gone under the radar, but The Elder Scrolls: Blades was actually listed for launch on May 12. We can also confirm that it was briefly listed for that same day on the official Nintendo UK page.
