Key Details: The upcoming game launch is in partnership with Sky Mavis, the developer of the popular game Axie Infinity and gaming chain giant Ronin Network. 

  • According to Zentry, flagship studio, Maxion, has an active partnership with Gravity, the publisher of Ragnarok, to create the web3 version of the iconic game.
  • The Gameplay: Ragnarok Landverse will retain the nostalgic gameplay of Ragnarok Online but has additional web3 features, introducing NFTs for in-game items, Guild-versus-Guild mechanics, and a crypto economy.

โ€œOur partnership with Sky Mavis goes beyond launching Ragnarok Landverse on Ronin. Together, weโ€™re paving the way for future Biggest gaming IPs to transition into Web3. By focusing on engaging gameplay, global accessibility, and blockchain-powered asset ownershipโ€”without relying on incentives like tokensโ€”Ragnarok Landverse demonstrates that Web3 gaming success is possible through quality alone. We are fully committed to making our vision of onboarding 50 million global users to Web3 gaming a reality.โ€

The Numbers: The classic Ragnarok game has over 100 million players globally and $2 billion in lifetime revenue over two decades.

  • Meanwhile, the soft launch of Ragnarok Landverse attracted 400,000 players and generated $15 million from NFT and in-game item sales.

โ€œHaving been a Ragnarok player myself, I understand the deep nostalgia and connection this game evokes in its global community. Zentryโ€™s Ragnarok Landverseโ€”with its massive player base and $15 million in NFT salesโ€”proves that Web3 gaming is about creating experiences that players truly love, enabling players to earn and collect. With Roninโ€™s proven track record of powering Web3 hits and our mission to bring economic freedom to everyone, starting with gamers, weโ€™re thrilled to help expand Ragnarok Landverse to an even larger, more engaged audience.โ€
