Bethesda announced that their Elder Scrolls CCG, Legends, is now in open beta at this year's QuakeCon, landing yet another major competitor to Blizzard's hugely popular Hearthstone.

I've also played a fair bit of the game in closed beta, and can tell you it's bloody awesome (we'll have content up around this soon, so stay tuned).

That’s right. Our digital card game The Elder Scrolls: Legends is now in open beta, meaning anyone who wants to play it can download it now for free and hop right in. No cost to play, no need to wait on a list. Simply download the Bethesda.net launcher, make yourself an account and you’re good to go.

Since we lifted the NDA for those in the closed beta, we’ve seen so many fans battling it out in streams and discussing the game in our forums, and we’re very excited about the response it has received. Now everyone has a chance to experience the Elder Scrolls universe in an entirely new way. If you haven’t seen much of the game yet and are wondering why you should jump in, here are just a few of the ways Legends distinguishes itself from other card games to offer a more varied and strategic game.
