SEOUL, October 28 (AJP) - South Korean game developer Wemade announced on Tuesday the global launch of its new multiplayer online role-playing game, Legend of YMIR. The game is now available in 170 countries, excluding South Korea and China.
Set in a mythical world torn apart after the fall of the gods, Legend of YMIR follows warriors fighting to restore order amid chaos. Players can engage in large-scale server battles and experience a new “Partners Server” model, which allows communities to manage and grow their own servers on both mobile and PC platforms.
At the heart of the game’s design is a blockchain-based economy. Players can earn “gWEMIX,” an in-game currency that can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis with WEMIX Coin, Wemade’s cryptocurrency. Victorious clans in server battles will collect a share of gWEMIX as tax from all other servers, blending competitive gameplay with tangible rewards.
To mark the launch, Wemade is hosting an airdrop event on its blockchain gaming platform, WEMIX PLAY, distributing NFT-based in-game items to participants. Players can also take part in the “Hero Qualification” event, which offers rewards for completing in-game missions.
Wemade said it plans to host a global tournament, the YMIR Cup, to determine the strongest server across all regions. The company, best known for its MIR franchise, continues to expand its footprint in blockchain-integrated gaming as it seeks to attract a global audience to its play-and-earn ecosystem.
