WeMade's highly anticipated MMORPG, Legends of Ymir, has launched in Korea to phenomenal success, immediately topping the Google Play charts and achieving pre-release success on the iOS App Store. The game's popularity has even necessitated the addition of a new server to accommodate the influx of players.
To celebrate this achievement, WeMade is offering in-game rewards for players, alongside further announcements regarding non-fungible items (NFIs). Despite the declining prominence of blockchain in recent headlines, WeMade continues to integrate this technology into the game.
Legends of Ymir's blend of Eastern MMORPG elements and a Norse-inspired setting has resonated strongly with Korean gamers. This significant success raises the question of whether an international release is on the horizon.
Valhalla and Beyond
Powered by Unreal Engine, Legends of Ymir boasts impressive graphics, refined gameplay, and high production values, positioning it as a truly next-generation mobile title. However, the continued emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder of the significant investments made by developers and publishers in this area, and their ongoing efforts to leverage its potential.
Hopefully, the integration of blockchain technology won't hinder the global launch of this highly anticipated game.
