Wemade reveals a partnership with Near Foundation for gaming in Korea. They also recently raised $46 million led by Microsoft, Shinhan Asset Management, and Kiwoom Securities.
Wemade is described as a pioneer in game development from South Korea. The company’s focus is shifting towards metaverse and blockchain (NFT, DeFi) technology with an emphasis on personalizing the gaming experience through in-game asset ownership.
Wemade says its aim is to transform everyday games with blockchain technology and establish its Wemix token as a key currency in the gaming industry. CEO Henry Chang says wants to make Wemade the “Steam of blockchain games”.
Wemade is the developer and owner of “The Legend of Mir” IP. The Legend of Mir apparently has more than 500 million users. And its latest blockchain game Mir4 is a new web3 game that apparently has more than four million people playing every month.
