The anticipated developer change from Dire Wolf Digital to Sparkypants Studios has begun. The entire client has been rebuilt from scratch, including a new interface, new gameboard, new and improved animations, increased gameplay speed, revamped card frames, new premium card animation, and an improved tutorial. This will be the largest update for Legends to date. No progress will be lost and you can just pick up the game where you left off. The new client will be available as an update to the current app, like previous patches.

UESP is busy preparing for this change. You may notice missing card images, but we will be working hard to replace them with versions from the new client as soon as possible! Please post any questions on the Legends talk page.
