If you've been keeping an eye on the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed the buzz around WeMade's eagerly awaited MMORPG, Legend of Ymir. Launched in Korea, it has quickly soared to success, topping the charts on Google Play and pre-release on the iOS App Store. The game's popularity has surged to the extent that WeMade had to introduce an additional server to accommodate the influx of players, hinting at the potential for an international release.
To celebrate this triumph, WeMade is rolling out a series of in-game rewards for its dedicated players. Alongside these perks, the company is also expanding its focus on blockchain technology, specifically Non-Fungible Items (NFIs). Despite the waning spotlight on blockchain in recent times, WeMade remains committed to leveraging this technology, which might seem unusual to some.
The unique blend of Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and action-packed gameplay 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, Legend of Ymir is poised to be a next-generation mobile gaming experience. However, the persistent emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder that many developers and publishers are still trying to capitalize on this trend, despite its fluctuating popularity.
While integrating blockchain into a global release could pose challenges, it's clear that Legend of Ymir is a highly anticipated title for many gamers worldwide.
