If you've been keeping up with the buzz in the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed the splash made by WeMade's eagerly awaited MMORPG, Legends of Ymir. Launched in Korea, it has swiftly climbed to success, even necessitating an additional server to accommodate the surging number of players. Not only has it topped the charts on Google Play, but it also made waves with its pre-release on the iOS App Store.
To celebrate this triumph, WeMade is rolling out a range of in-game rewards for its dedicated players. Alongside these treats, there's more news on the horizon regarding blockchain integration. Despite the waning spotlight on blockchain, WeMade continues to place significant bets on its potential, which might seem a bit unusual to some.
The game itself blends Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and action-packed gameplay, making a strong impression on Korean players. This success raises the question: could an international release be in the works? Only time will tell.
With its stunning Unreal engine graphics, smooth gameplay, and high production values, Legend of Ymir is clearly striving to be a next-generation mobile gaming experience. However, the persistent focus on blockchain is a reminder that many developers and publishers are still trying to leverage these technologies, even as their prominence fades.
It's hoped that any attempt to integrate blockchain into a global release won't overshadow what is, undoubtedly, a highly anticipated launch for many around the world. While we might be waiting a while for updates on a worldwide launch of Legend of Ymir, you can stay ahead of the game by checking out our regular feature, "Ahead of the Game," to discover exciting new game releases!
