Microsoft has invested in a Korean game company that specialises in blockchain technology.
and mobile games. Its most notable franchise is Legend of Mir, a series of PC and mobile MMORPGs.
According to the company, its recent title Mir 4 “has become the world’s first well-made blockbuster blockchain game since the company entered the blockchain industry in 2018”, though it’s not clear what metrics it uses to determine this. Wemade recently launched its own blockchain mainnet called Wemix 3.0, which it describes as a “platform-driven and service-oriented mega-ecosystem”. A mainnet is a fully developed and deployed blockchain network in which cryptocurrency transactions can be broadcasted, verified and recorded on the blockchain., and plans to introduce its own ‘economy platform’ which supports NFTs and DAO .
It’s not clear how Microsoft’s investment in Wemade fits into its own strategy, but it appears unlikely that it will directly lead to blockchain or NFT technology being included in its own games.
