If you've been keeping an eye on the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed that WeMade's eagerly awaited MMORPG, Legends of Ymir, has been making waves. Launched in Korea, it has already achieved significant success, even prompting WeMade to add an additional server to accommodate the swelling number of players. The game quickly soared to the top of the charts on Google Play and secured a strong pre-release position on the iOS App Store.
To celebrate this triumph, WeMade is rolling out a series of in-game rewards for its dedicated players. Alongside these rewards, the company continues to delve into the realm of blockchain technology, known as NFIs. Despite blockchain's declining presence in the news, WeMade remains committed to this technology, which may seem unconventional to some.
The game's unique blend of Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and dynamic action has clearly resonated with Korean players. This success raises the question: could an international release be on the horizon? Only time will tell.
With its stunning Unreal engine graphics, smooth gameplay, and high production values, Legends of Ymir is poised to be a groundbreaking mobile release. However, the ongoing emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder that many developers and publishers are still invested in this trend, attempting to derive value from it.
While integrating blockchain into a global release might pose challenges, it's clear that Legends of Ymir is a highly anticipated launch for many around the world.
