WeMade's highly anticipated MMORPG, Legends of Ymir, has launched in Korea to phenomenal success, immediately topping the Google Play charts and achieving impressive pre-release numbers 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 to players. Further announcements regarding non-fungible items (NFIs) are also expected, indicating a continued focus on blockchain technology, despite its waning prominence in recent headlines.
Legends of Ymir blends Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and action, a combination that has clearly resonated with Korean gamers. This success raises the tantalizing prospect of an international release, although no official announcements have been made.
A Next-Gen Mobile Experience
Powered by Unreal Engine, Legends of Ymir boasts stunning graphics, polished gameplay, and high production values, setting a new standard for mobile MMORPGs. However, the ongoing emphasis on blockchain integration remains a point of interest, reminding us of the industry's past investments in this technology and ongoing efforts to leverage its potential.
Hopefully, the integration of blockchain won't hinder the global launch many anticipate. While we await news of a worldwide release, stay tuned to our regular "Ahead of the Game" feature for updates on exciting new game launches!
