The highly anticipated MMORPG, Legend of Ymir, has made a significant impact in Korea since its launch. Developed by WeMade, this Norse-inspired game quickly soared to the top of the charts on Google Play and secured a prominent pre-release position on the iOS App Store. The overwhelming response has even necessitated the addition of an extra server to accommodate the surging player base.
To commemorate this success, WeMade is rolling out a series of in-game rewards for dedicated players. Additionally, the company is expanding its focus on blockchain technology, integrating Non-Fungible Items (NFIs) into the game. Despite the waning prominence of blockchain in gaming news, WeMade remains committed to this innovative approach.
The blend of Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse mythology setting has evidently resonated with Korean gamers. This success raises the question of a potential international release. While no official announcements have been made, the global gaming community is keenly watching for any developments.
With its stunning graphics powered by the Unreal engine, engaging gameplay, and high production values, Legend of Ymir is poised to be a leading next-generation mobile game. However, the persistent emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder of the industry's ongoing efforts to capitalize on this trend. As WeMade continues to explore blockchain integration, it's hoped that this won't overshadow the excitement surrounding a potential global launch.
