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 point where 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, there's more news on the horizon regarding blockchain integration. Despite the waning spotlight on blockchain in gaming, WeMade remains committed to 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 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 this once-trendy tech.
While integrating blockchain into a global release could pose challenges, it's clear that Legend of Ymir is a highly anticipated title for gamers worldwide.
