Legend of Ymir is top of the charts on Google Play and is celebrating with... NFTs?

WeMade's Legends of Ymir, a Norse-inspired MMORPG, has achieved remarkable success in its Korean launch. The game quickly ascended to the top of Google Play and pre-release iOS App Store charts, forcing WeMade to add extra servers to accommodate the influx of players.

This triumph is being celebrated with in-game rewards for players, and further integration of NFTs. While the blockchain focus might seem unconventional given its recent decline in mainstream attention, WeMade continues to invest heavily in this technology.

The game's blend of Eastern MMORPG elements and a Norse setting has resonated strongly with Korean gamers. This success raises the intriguing possibility of an international release, though no official announcements have been made.

A Next-Gen Mobile Experience

Legends of Ymir boasts impressive Unreal Engine graphics, polished gameplay, and high production values, positioning it as a cutting-edge mobile title. However, the persistent emphasis on blockchain technology serves as a reminder of the significant investments made by developers in this area, and their ongoing efforts to capitalize on it.

Hopefully, the integration of blockchain won't hinder the global launch, which many anticipate eagerly.
