Combat-oriented MMORPG Legend of Ymir goes live on WEMIX

Following the launch of the web2 version of the game in South Korea earlier this year, the web3-enabled version of Wemade’s latest MMORPG has gone live globally.

Legend of Ymir is a Norse-themed combat-focused PC and mobile game built on Unreal Engine 5 in which players select from five character classes Berserker, Warlord, Skaldn (musician), Völva (mage) and Archer.

As with similar games — notable Night Crows — Legend of Ymir can be played in autoplay mode, but it’s specifically designed for players to take control in terms of its skill-driven combat.

Other gameplay elements include magical helpers, which can be levelled up, and animals companions such as mounts and birds, which helps move you around the map. Of course, there’s also plenty of item management and crafting.

Multiple languages are supported including Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Thai, highlighting some of the game’s key audiences.

In terms of the blockchain elements, the game uses a synthetic currency called gWEMIX, which is a 1:1 version of the onchain WEMIX token.

It’s provided as a reward to players as a share of the economic activity arising from each server, and required to level up characters and items. Players can also craft and mint NFTs items, which can then be traded.

A diagram showing some elements of the game’s economy is shown below.

Another interesting aspect includes the ability to run custom servers, 10 of which have already been auctioned off. Owners have some level of control over what happens on their servers, including earning passive income.

Finally, in the post-launch period, Wemade is also running a bunch of giveaways including a raffle for 1 BTC.
