WEMADE officially launched the global service of its blockchain game “Legend of YMIR” (PC / iOS / Android) on October 28, 2025. The game features a total of 30 servers, including the newly opened “TOKYO Server,” designed to provide Japanese players with an optimal gaming experience.
This new MMORPG is set in a world inspired by Norse mythology, telling the story leading up to Ragnarok—the apocalyptic event that recurs approximately every 9,000 years. The game stands out with its stunning graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5 and action-oriented gameplay where player decisions directly influence battle outcomes.
Additionally, “Legend of YMIR” features a unique system called “Partner’s Server.” This allows ordinary users to bid for server operation rights through an auction format. As a result, players can take on the role of community operators themselves, grow their communities, and share those achievements with WEMADE—realizing a new “user-driven server model.”
The game also implements a P&E (Play and Earn) system based on WEMADE’s blockchain ecosystem, “WEMIX PLAY,” offering players an innovative MMORPG experience where real-world value can be created through gameplay.

New MMORPG “Legend of YMIR” Launches Official Service!
Highly Anticipated Title Using Unreal Engine 5 Finally Arrives in Japan – Global Release Begins Today at 13:00
- The launch includes the opening of “TOKYO Server,” ensuring smooth and comfortable gameplay for Japanese users among the initial total of 30 servers.
- A variety of events are currently underway to celebrate the global service release.
WEMADE Co., Ltd. (CEO Park, Kwan Ho; hereinafter “WEMADE”) officially launched the service of its large-scale MMORPG “Legend of YMIR” at 13:00 on October 28, 2025.
The game supports cross-platform play between PC and mobile devices (iOS/Android), allowing players to continue their battles seamlessly across all platforms using a single account. The global release launched with 30 servers across major regions including ASIA, NAEU, and SA, operating as an integrated global service where all players compete and cooperate under identical build specifications and balanced environments. Furthermore, the simultaneous launch of the “TOKYO Server” ensures Japanese users can enjoy smooth communication and guild activities among themselves while maintaining flexible support for inter-server competitive content with other regions.
■ Next-Generation MMORPG Combat Powered by Unreal Engine 5
“Legend of YMIR” features breathtaking graphics and visually stunning combat systems powered by Unreal Engine 5. Moving beyond traditional auto-combat mechanics, the game adopts a post-action judgment battle design that emphasizes timing and reaction—delivering intense action where player input directly influences the outcome.
■ “Share the Loot, Share the Glory”: A User-Created Server Ecosystem
With the slogan “Share the Loot, Share the Glory,” this global release marks the full implementation of a user-driven server ecosystem built collaboratively with players.
A key highlight is the special feature called “Partner’s Server,” which allows general users to acquire server operation rights through an auction system. This creates a new “user-led server model” where players can act as community operators, grow their communities, and share those successes directly with WEMADE—going far beyond mere participation.
Furthermore, combining this with content creator-focused “Streamer Partner’s Server” and the SSS (Streamer Supporting System) demonstrates a fresh direction for MMORPGs centered on “sharing” and “participation.”
■ Global Competitive Content and P&E Experience
The global version includes large-scale content such as inter-server battles and the upcoming global esports tournament, the YMIR CUP, scheduled for January 2026. Additionally, it adopts a P&E (Play and Earn) system based on WEMADE’s blockchain ecosystem, “WEMIX PLAY,” providing players with an innovative MMORPG experience where real-world value is generated through gameplay.
■ Global Launch Celebration Events Underway
To commemorate the global service launch, a two-week limited-time lottery event called “Lucky Totem (Talisman of Good Fortune)” is currently running for all players worldwide. Players can craft totems using “gWEMIX” received as pre-registration rewards or complete in-game missions titled “Prayer for Luck” to obtain them and challenge a prize pool totaling 1 BTC (Bitcoin).
Unlike simple lotteries, this event directly links gameplay experience with tangible rewards—enhancing immersion and sense of accomplishment. Additionally, other events are running simultaneously: an “YMIR Launch Airdrop Event” offering in-game NFT items for WEMIX PLAY members; and the “Hero’s Qualification” campaign allowing players to earn hero-tier rewards by completing level-up milestones and weekly quests.
