If you've been keeping an eye on the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed WeMade's highly anticipated MMORPG, Legend of Ymir, making waves. The game has launched in Korea to great success, topping the charts on Google Play and achieving a strong pre-release performance on the iOS App Store. The popularity has been so immense that WeMade had to introduce an additional server to accommodate the influx of players.
To celebrate this achievement, WeMade is rolling out a series of in-game rewards for their dedicated players. Alongside these rewards, there's more news on the horizon regarding blockchain integration. Despite the waning focus on blockchain in the broader gaming industry, WeMade continues to invest heavily in this technology, which might seem unusual to some.
Legend of Ymir blends Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and action-packed gameplay, which has clearly resonated with 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 poised to be a next-generation mobile gaming experience. However, the persistent focus on blockchain technology serves as a reminder that many developers and publishers are still trying to leverage these innovations, despite their declining prominence in gaming news.
While integrating blockchain into a global release could potentially complicate matters, it's clear that many around the world are eagerly awaiting Legend of Ymir's launch.
