Legend of YMIR: Epic MMORPG Launches Globally on October 28 on WEMIX Blockchain with Innovative Play-to-Earn Economy

Legend of YMIR, an ambitious MMORPG inspired by Norse mythology and developed with Unreal Engine 5, will launch globally on October 28, 2025 at 12:00 (UTC+8), with pre-download available from October 26 for PC and mobile devices (iOS/Android). The game implements WEMADE's "second-generation tokenomics" through native WEMIX token integration, representing a paradigm shift in blockchain gaming by directly connecting in-game activities with the WEMIX ecosystem.

Token Distribution and Economy

Legend of YMIR's ecosystem operates with two main tokens: G-WEMIX as the primary in-game currency and YMT (YMIR Treasure Token) for the Partner's Server system. G-WEMIX can be exchanged at a fixed 1:1 rate for $WEMIX tokens, with stability guaranteed by a reserve of approximately $7.5 million (around ₩10.2 billion KRW). Weekly distribution of 55,000 YMT tokens occurs through Valhalla Trials, with the top 1,000 players receiving weekly payouts and the top 100 becoming YMIR Partners, sharing a prize pool of $500,000 split between 2 BTC and 375,000 WEMIX.

Earning Opportunities for Players

Players can obtain G-WEMIX primarily through inter-server content, including the time-limited Hall of Gold dungeon, Expedition raids, and contested areas where players from different servers compete. The slogan "PLAY YMIR, EARN WEMIX" summarizes the Play & Earn economy that connects gameplay to real value. The system allows in-game activities to directly impact the entire WEMIX ecosystem, transforming players into active participants in the global blockchain economy. Victories in Server Battles increase the total G-WEMIX allocation for the server's treasury, benefiting the entire community.

Comprehensive Token Utility

YMT serves as the central utility currency in the Partner's Server ecosystem, being essential for all major server administrative actions. G-WEMIX functions as fuel for character progression, equipment crafting and upgrades, and can be converted directly to $WEMIX for external liquidity. Refinement materials needed to craft the game's common coin currency will only be available through the mileage shop via token staking, creating constant demand. These common coins are required to craft and enhance legendary NFT equipment tradeable between players.

WEMIX Blockchain Advantages

Native WEMIX integration simplifies the user experience by narrowing the gap between the game and the main blockchain platform, strengthening the integration and value circulation of the entire ecosystem. WEMADE is the only company combining over two decades of AAA game development success with a fully operational blockchain ecosystem, built entirely on its proprietary Layer-1 mainnet, WEMIX3.0. Market reaction was positive with a significant 11% spike in WEMIX token price following Legend of YMIR's pre-registration announcement.

Market Positioning and Competitive Advantage

The innovative Partner's Server system, exclusive to the global version, allows selected players to manage their own servers through auctions beginning October 16. Server operators can set their own rules, host custom events, and build their community's identity, maintaining rights for 6 months and earning WEMIX rewards based on their server's sales performance. The game will feature five classes - Berserker, Warlord, Skald, Volva, and the newly added Archer - with large-scale PvP battles where global players clash on one stage.

Launch Timeline and Future Development

The simultaneous launch will occur across three main regional servers (ASIA, NAEU, SA) plus special Partner's Server and Streamer Server options. The game will support multiple languages including English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Portuguese, Russian, and Thai. With more than 1 million pre-registrations already secured worldwide, the game has established a strong foundation heading into launch. WEMADE plans strategic WEMIX airdrops aligned with server launch and growth pass, incentivizing meaningful user participation.

Industry Impact and Conclusion

Legend of YMIR's second-generation tokenomics has the potential to fundamentally change how players interact with blockchain games. WEMADE's approach to sustainability aims to overcome limitations shown by the early P&E model, building a healthy long-term ecosystem through comprehensive research encompassing token economics, game theory, and user behavior analysis. The project demonstrates that Web3 games can work at scale, following the successes of MIR4 and Night Crows, now aiming to push these boundaries even further. Legend of YMIR represents not just a new game, but an evolution in the integration between traditional AAA-quality gameplay and truly functional blockchain economy, potentially setting new standards for the next generation of tokenized MMORPGs.
