When the new MMORPG Legend of Ymir is set to release for the international market has not been officially announced yet. However, the developer’s financial report suggests a release in 2025.
What kind of game is it? Legend of Ymir is an upcoming MMORPG from the South Korean developer studio WeMade for PC and Mobile. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and is expected to offer huge PvP battles, but much more is not known at this time.
The game’s setting draws on Norse mythology and the world of gods, with the developers promising “a new legend from the land of Odin.” Looking at the latest gameplay trailer, this inspiration is unmistakable:

When is the game released? Originally, a release was planned for 2024, but now it seems that at least the international release will be delayed by a year.
In a financial report from the developers, Legend of Ymir appears twice in the list of upcoming games: once as a release in 2024 and a second time with the addition “Global” for the year 2025.
Most likely, the game will first be released only in South Korea, but still in 2024. It is expected to be playable in Europe and the rest of the world by 2025. However, the developers do not provide a more precise timeframe in the report.
