If you've been keeping an eye on the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed WeMade's much-anticipated MMORPG, Legend of Ymir, making waves. Launched in Korea, this Norse-inspired game has quickly soared to success, hitting the #1 spot on Google Play and topping pre-release charts on the iOS App Store. The demand has been so high that WeMade had to add an additional server to accommodate the growing player base.
To celebrate this milestone, WeMade is rolling out a series of in-game rewards for dedicated players. Moreover, they're continuing to explore the realm of blockchain technology, integrating Non-Fungible Items (NFIs) into the game. While blockchain might be less in the spotlight these days, WeMade remains committed to leveraging it as part of their strategy.
Legend of Ymir combines Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse mythology setting, which seems to have struck a chord with Korean gamers. This success has sparked speculation about a potential international release. Could players around the world soon be venturing into the world of Ymir? Only time will tell.
Valhalla and beyond
Powered by the Unreal engine, Legend of Ymir boasts stunning graphics, smooth gameplay, and high production values, positioning it as a next-generation mobile gaming experience. However, the ongoing focus on blockchain technology reminds us that many developers and publishers are still trying to capitalize on this trend, even as its prominence wanes.
While integrating blockchain into a global release might present challenges, it's clear that many gamers worldwide are eagerly awaiting Legend of Ymir.
