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.

Bethesda is preparing two different versions of The Elder Scrolls: Blades. The first one will be entirely free-to-play, while the second is a $14.99 “Quick-Start Edition” with some items.

Here’s a full rundown of the the Quick-Start Edition:

The Quick-Start Edition includes exclusive armor and a powerful weapon to help you survive dangerous quests and take on exciting battles in the arena. These legendary items were once owned by the notorious Bloodfall King, Durak gro-Batul.
