In the Western world, MMORPG fans are currently playing WoW Shadowlands. Looking to the other side of the world, in Korea, players there are addicted to a brand new MMORPG.
This is what it looks like in Korea: On November 25th, the MMORPG Mir4 was released in South Korea. The game is primarily aimed at mobile players and is currently dominating the app store charts there.
WoW Shadowlands, which is currently the MMORPG of the hour for us, plays a lesser role there.
New mobile game dominates Korea
What is Mir4? This MMORPG has only been released in Korea so far. It features a dynamic combat system and beautiful graphics.
Mir4 is set in the universe of the “Legend of Mir” game series, which is very popular in South Korea. To give you an impression of the game and the mechanics, we are embedding a gameplay video here:
As usual, MMORPGs on the Asian market have been developed primarily for mobile. Mir4 is available for iOS and Android in South Korea. However, players can also play it on PC through an emulator.
So far, there is no information about an English version of the game.
How successful is Mir4: The website MMORPG.org.pl reports that the game became the most popular game in the Apple Store within a few hours and rose to the top 3 of the Google Play charts. The number of players is already counted in millions. The demand is so high that the developers had to open additional servers.
The developers, by the way, are We Take. They also support a Viking MMORPG that is coming to us soon.
What is successful for us instead? Currently, every MMORPG fan is talking about the WoW expansion Shadowlands. Initial impressions of the game are positive, and players have been busy playing since November 24th.
All the more interesting is the contradiction in the Asian world. There, a new mobile MMORPG is currently dominating the market.
