If you've been keeping an eye on the Korean mobile gaming scene, you might have noticed the buzz around WeMade's highly anticipated MMORPG, Legends of Ymir. The game has taken off since its launch in Korea, securing the top spot on Google Play and pre-release on the iOS App Store. The overwhelming player response has even necessitated the addition of a new server to accommodate the influx of gamers.
To celebrate this monumental success, 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, a direction WeMade continues to pursue despite the shifting focus away from such technologies in broader gaming circles.
The fusion of Eastern MMORPG elements with a Norse-inspired setting and action-packed gameplay has clearly struck a chord with Korean gamers. 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, Legends of Ymir is positioned as a next-generation mobile release. Yet, the ongoing emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder that many in the industry are still looking to leverage these systems, despite their waning prominence in mainstream gaming news.
Hopefully, the integration of blockchain won't overshadow what many of us are eagerly awaiting—a global launch of Legends of Ymir. While we might have to wait a bit longer for news on an international rollout, you can stay updated on exciting new game releases by checking out our regular feature, "Ahead of the Game."
