South Korean developer WEMADE has launched its new fantasy MMORPG, Legend of YMIR, on a global scale, allowing access for both PC and mobile players. This release follows its initial debut in the domestic market and introduces two distinct versions: a traditional “Web2” format and a blockchain-enabled “Web3” version available through the WEMIX PLAY platform.
Game Features and Playability
Developed using the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, Legend of YMIR draws inspiration from Norse mythology, offering players an immersive narrative experience. Players can choose from five unique classes: Berserker, Warlord, Skald, Völva, and Archer, each presenting different combat styles. While the game includes an auto-combat feature for convenience, WEMADE emphasizes that player skill is crucial for both progression and player-versus-player (PvP) encounters.
The game supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional), Portuguese, Russian, and Thai. To enhance accessibility, regional servers are established across Asia, North America/Europe (NAEU), and South America, allowing players to maintain their accounts seamlessly across both PC and mobile platforms.
Community Engagement and Competitive Play
In line with its long-term motto, “Share the Loot, Share the Glory,” WEMADE is fostering community involvement through an innovative Partner’s Server feature. This system allows player groups to bid on server operation rights, enabling them to organize community events and share revenue generated from these activities. Content creators will benefit from specialized Streamer Partner’s Servers, alongside a dedicated management program known as the SSS (Streamer Supporting System), which equips them with tools for hosting events.
Competitive play is also a significant aspect of Legend of YMIR. The game will host large-scale server-versus-server battles every two weeks, with the top performers earning a spot in the YMIR Cup. This international esports tournament is scheduled to take place in early 2026 in Hong Kong.
Moreover, the game integrates Play-and-Earn mechanics through WEMIX tokens. Rewards are linked to in-game achievements and competitive performance, further incentivizing player engagement.
To celebrate the global launch, WEMADE has organized several promotional events. Among these is a two-week Lucky Totem event, which offers players opportunities to win prizes through gameplay. Additionally, an airdrop will distribute NFT in-game items to members of WEMIX PLAY, complemented by milestone-based challenges that reward players with high-tier incentives.
With these features and events, Legend of YMIR aims to establish itself as a significant player in the MMORPG market, appealing to a diverse audience of gamers worldwide.
