How Long Does It Take for WEMADE Games to Launch Globally?

WEMADE, the game development company behind the Legend of Mir series of MMORPGs, has a track record of releasing its games in South Korea before launching them globally. This pattern has been consistent across its latest major titles, and a similar approach is expected for the upcoming MMORPG Legend of Ymir.

Time Interval Between Korean and Global Releases

WEMADE has consistently released its games in South Korea first, with the global version arriving several months later. The table below shows the time gap between the domestic and international launches for some of its recent MMORPGs:

Game	Korea Release	Global Release	Time Interval
MIR4	November 25, 2020	August 26, 2021	~9 months
MIR M	June 23, 2022	January 31, 2023	~7 months
Night Crows	April 27, 2023	March 12, 2024	~11 months
Legend of Ymir	February 20, 2025	October 28, 2025	~8 months

Blockchain Integration

Since MIR4, WEMADE has been integrating blockchain technology into most of the global versions of its games through WEMIX, its blockchain gaming ecosystem. Games like MIR4, MIR M, and Night Crows launched in South Korea without blockchain features but introduced tokenization, NFTs, and other Web3 elements in their global editions. However, with Legend of Ymir, WEMADE appears to have changed its approach by incorporating blockchain technology into the South Korean release from the start, including features such as Non-Fungible Items (NFIs).
