Honestly, I completely forgot that this was happening. It feels like this already missed its moment since they didn't release the game as an "Available Now!" type of deal during the E3 Conference and with all the major games releasing in 2020, I doubt I'm ever gonna touch this game.
i'm guessing that's not happening. as their "for every platform!" pitch isn't working out as is
that said the game is quite okay. i played it more than any mobile game this year, though that's a very low bar on my end
Honestly, I do not think anybody is remotely gutted. And I absolutely stress I have no mobile game snobbery bones in my body. But this was a bad game. Then put it in the context of having the infinitely superior full fat Skyrim available on the platform (and subject to some nice deep discounts in sales), where is the audience for this?

How else will I play the full mobile experience of elder scrolls D:
With its incredible combat and immersive chest opening!

i think the better question is why did bethersda think this is a good idea? even if someone wanted to play this, they could already get it on the phone they have. i don't really get who the audience is.
Well since it's free they might get some new people who haven't played the elder scrolls before and they might try 5 if they like it.
Yeah a decent Elder Scrolls game for mobile could be done, but Bethesda is too incompetent to handle the task
I know but it is what I wanted this to be when it was first announced, they still need to bring it back though. That game was cooool.

they delisted the 3 games, you can't even get them anymore :( i remember playing them back in the day (got one of them when it was the free game of the week on app store), pretty cool and really good graphics for a mobile game.
Yeah, it was really neat and it played like a dream, I played it non stop until my iPod's battery died, recharged and went back in.
I actually have IB 1 and 2 installed on my phone, I never did get part 3 unfortunately

honestly i bet the pitch was: we'll port the game to switch so we can show people slashing monsters using joycon motion controls. that'll be exciting for people.
I'm going to be honest. I play this game every morning. I don't know why. I've raised my town up to level 8 and just raised my Smith to 8 so that I can make Ebony armor. I basically log in for the free daily thing, do a daily quest as long as it's 3 skulls or less, and sell stuff. Now that I can do the ebony, I will craft a full set. I will never spend any money in this game and I don't enjoy it. I've been stuck on the main quest line for a while now because they're too difficult to finish (though maybe the ebony will help with that). There's all kinds of cosmetic things you can put in the village, but there's no point since nobody can see any of it and they raise your town level pretty insignificantly. I think I play it because I am in disbelief there's not more to it than this. Luckily, it takes up about 5 or so minutes of my morning, so I can keep looking at the train wreck and not feel too bad about it.
Why you'd ever play it at all, much less on Switch, I have no idea.

Mainly big tweaks to the loot system (no more timers on chest, enemies drop stuff etc...), guilds with trades, pvp
Well, Gems of War can be played on phones as well but has a sizeable Switch player base also despite releasing just last March.(years after the other versions).
Does literally anyone want this?
It's sad that fans have created far more and better Elder Scrolls content than Bethesda in the near decade since Skyrim's release.
