The new MMORPG Legend of Ymir is coming for PC and Mobile. It is being developed with Unreal Engine 5 and brings realistic graphics. The trailer shows how “real” such a game can look.
What kind of game is this? The Korean developer WeMade is currently working on a new MMORPG that is set to be released for PC and Mobile devices. Legend of Ymir is being developed with the new Unreal Engine 5. In a new tech demo, the team showcases what strong graphics the engine can produce.
Keep in mind that a tech demo shows the maximum of what is technically possible. Usually, a large part of this is downscaled in the final game.
Ingame scenes from Legend of Ymir in the trailer
This is what the developers show: In the video, the developers of the MMORPG discuss the means by which they achieve the photorealistic quality and how, through the use of Unreal Engine 5, facial features and the expression of the eyes come to prominence. The video from 4 minutes and 17 seconds shows Ingame footage.
A character is presented as a model. The white dress is depicted in great detail with patterns. There are golden, detailed brooches on the straps and the cloak. The face looks proud and surprised.

Legend of Ymir – Release, Platform, Developer
What do we know about the game? According to MMOCulture, there will be huge PvP battles in Legend of Ymir. The game is set to become a “Next Gen” MMORPG and will focus on siege battles.
When is the release? This is still unclear. In the video, the team talks about the “near future.”
On which platforms will it be available? The plan is to release Legend of Ymir simultaneously on PC and Mobile.
What do we know about the developers? The development team WeMade is known for the MMORPG MIR4, which already broke the milestone of over 1 million concurrent players in October. Many see Legend of Ymir as a Nordic version of MIR4, featuring deities like Thor, Loki, and Odin.
A peculiarity of MIR4 is that players can mine a mineral in the MMORPG that can then be converted into cryptocurrency, which can be sold for real money. This way, some players may not actually “play” but instead are there to work in the MMORPG.
The blockchain technology of WeMade is also expected to be used in Legend of Ymir.
