Wemade Directs Effort to Global Blockchain and Expands in the Middle East

Wemade, a South Korean gaming company, is the creator of the Legend of Mir series of MMORPGs, the two most successful being The Legend of Mir 2, and its sequel The Legend of Mir 3.

Wemade is targeting the Middle East region for its global blockchain business. In fact, it has opened its branch in Dubai, UAE this May, as it was a part of the company's blockchain business expansion. Wemade is the first Korean gaming company to have a branch in Dubai.

The Middle East has a great growth potential for digital assets, blockchain technologies and more. Dubai stands out as an ideal base in the region not only for Wemade but global IT companies in general, as the game industry there is growing rapidly, and the government is taking a positive stance on blockchain.

Recently, Dubai announced a pro-blockchain stance and is focusing its effort on innovative digital infrastructure. Preemptive, bold policies on supporting blockchain-based business ecosystems and crypto asset service are also in place.

Henry Chang, CEO of Wemade, visited Dubai on Aug 17 for an interview on live TV with CNBC Arabia. He introduced Wemade's blockchain business in general, his vision of inter-game economy, and WEMIX coin. Interviews by other local media followed.

"Games that adapt the blockchain technology such as coins, NFTs and Defi can enlarge the economy beyond the game into the real world," Mr. Chang explained.

"Wemade has already established branches not only in Dubai but also in Singapore, China, Japan, and USA, and will continue to do so this year. We will pour everything we have to firmly establish Wemade as a global blockchain gaming company", the later added.
