If you've been keeping an eye on the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed WeMade's highly anticipated MMORPG, Legends of Ymir, making waves. The Norse-inspired game has not only launched successfully in Korea but has also soared to the top of the charts on Google Play and pre-release on the iOS App Store. The overwhelming response has even prompted WeMade to add another server to accommodate the growing number of players.
To celebrate this triumph, WeMade is rolling out a suite of in-game rewards for their loyal players. Alongside these perks, they're also introducing more elements related to Non-Fungible Items (NFIs). Despite the success of Legends of Ymir, WeMade continues to heavily invest in blockchain technology, a trend that may seem peculiar as it fades from mainstream attention.
The game's unique blend of Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and action-packed gameplay has clearly struck a chord 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 clearly aiming to set a new standard for mobile gaming. However, the ongoing emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder of the industry's past enthusiasm for such innovations, with developers and publishers still seeking to leverage them for value.
While integrating blockchain into a global release could potentially complicate matters, it's undeniable that Legends of Ymir is eagerly anticipated by gamers worldwide.
