Legend of Ymir Global Pre-Registration: Norse MMORPG with Play-to-Earn Features

Wemade launches worldwide pre-registration for its blockchain-integrated MMORPG Legend of Ymir, targeting Q4 2025 global release with innovative gWEMIX tokenomics.
South Korean publisher Wemade has opened global pre-registration for Legend of Ymir, a Norse mythology MMORPG that integrates blockchain technology with traditional gaming. The announcement triggered an 11% surge in WEMIX token price, demonstrating strong market confidence in the project.
Norse Epic Meets Blockchain Gaming
Legend of Ymir launched in South Korea on February 20, 2025, immediately topping app store charts and reaching No.1 in Google Play sales. The game combines Norse mythology with Unreal Engine 5 graphics, creating an immersive world centered around the recurring apocalypse of Ragnarök that occurs every 9,000 years.
The global version operates under the slogan "PLAY YMIR, EARN WEMIX" and features blockchain technology that limits crafting coins while introducing Non-Fungible Items (NFI) for top-tier equipment.
Revolutionary gWEMIX Economy
The game's core innovation lies in its "second-generation tokenomics" using gWEMIX tokens. Players obtain gWEMIX through inter-server competition including Hall of Gold dungeons, Expedition bosses, and Contested Areas where different servers compete.
gWEMIX maintains a fixed 1:1 exchange ratio with WEMIX coin for stable value, backed by a $7.5 million reserve fund from the WEMIX Foundation. Winning clans in server battles receive a percentage of all gWEMIX generated across the inter-server network.
Pre-Registration Rewards and Events
Players can register through the official Legend of Ymir website or WEMIX PLAY platform to receive:
Immediate Benefits:
- 3 gWEMIX tokens after completing simple missions
- Exclusive companions: Bardagi (website) or Gulnkorph (WEMIX PLAY)
- Card bundles and enhancement materials
Milestone Rewards: Additional items unlock as registration numbers reach specific targets, including Boss Feathers and Enhancement Stone Selection Boxes.
Special Programs:

Technical Foundation and Launch Timeline
Built on WEMIX3.0 blockchain using Stake-based Proof of Authority consensus with 4,000 TPS throughput and 1-second block intervals, secured by 40 decentralized authority nodes.
The global launch is scheduled for the second half of 2025, with strong indications pointing to Q4 release. The game will support PC and mobile platforms simultaneously, with localization for English, Chinese, Thai, Portuguese, and Russian markets.
Market Impact and Industry Significance
The WEMIX token's 11% surge following pre-registration launch defied broader GameFi sector declines, highlighting how individual blockchain gaming projects can outperform market trends.
Legend of Ymir represents Wemade's evolution from previous titles like Night Crows and MIR4, offering direct WEMIX integration without complex token swapping processes. This "second-generation tokenomics" approach simplifies user experience while strengthening the entire WEMIX ecosystem integration.
The game's success will likely influence mainstream adoption of blockchain features in traditional gaming, positioning it as a pivotal project for the industry's future direction.
