The Elder Scrolls: Legends has been a popular card game since its release, and although the game may not have as much clout, Bethesda and Dire Wolf have carved out a place for Legends all the same.

Dire Wolf Digital, a studio that also did the Eternal online card game, was recently entrusted with turning Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls franchise into the next big online card game. The results for Hearthstone have been incredible, and since then, new competitors have sprung up in an effort to cash in on the online card playing craze.

Blizzard's Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft totally changed the game by capitalizing on the elements of card games that could only be done in a video game medium, relying on RNG-based effects and smooth, crisp card animations rather than overly-complicated mechanics that reduce the amount of luck involved in a given game. What was once a genre almost completely dominated by Magic: the Gathering Online has blossomed into an attractive revenue stream for major video game companies, and developers have begun to take notice. While it was once considered an entirely niche market, online card games have now become a staple on PC and mobile devices.
