Zentry Partners with Ronin to Launch Ragnarok Landverse in Web3
Zentry is set to introduce its highly anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), Ragnarok Landverse, to the Ronin blockchain ecosystem developed by Sky Mavis.
Integrating Web3 Gaming with Proven Distribution
This collaboration merges Zentry’s expertise in Web3 gaming with Ronin’s established distribution framework for blockchain-based titles. The forthcoming Ragnarok Landverse aims to revitalize the classic MMORPG, which has captured over 100 million players around the globe and earned more than $2 billion in revenue since its launch.
Zentry is committed to maintaining the engaging gameplay that fans treasure while introducing innovative ways for users to earn and possess digital items. The transition of Ragnarok onto the blockchain not only modernizes gameplay but also invites countless gamers into a thriving Web3 space, uniting classic experiences with community involvement and true digital asset ownership.
A Comprehensive Game Ecosystem
Building what they call a “game-of-games ecosystem,” Zentry seeks to create a cohesive Play Economy utilizing their flagship game technology studio, Maxion, which collaborates officially with Gravity—the publisher responsible for bringing Ragnarok to life. Ragnarok Landverse aims to deliver an updated experience reminiscent of its beloved predecessor, known for captivating players through epic quests and formidable monster battles while fostering a robust online community.
CEO Jarindr Thitadilaka emphasized this vision: “Our alliance with Sky Mavis extends beyond merely launching Ragnarok Landverse on Ronin,” he remarked. “Together we’re setting a precedent for even more illustrious gaming franchises making their way into Web3. By harnessing engaging gameplay elements alongside global accessibility without overly depending on token incentives, we believe success in Web3 gaming can be achieved purely through quality craftsmanship. Our mission remains focused on onboarding 50 million users worldwide into this new era of gaming.”
The Legacy of Ragnarok: A Cultural Phenomenon
First introduced in 2002 by South Korea’s Gravity Games, the original Ragnarok Online rapidly ascended as one of history’s premier MMORPGs. Borrowing inspiration from Lee Myung-jin’s manhwa series Ragnarök, it captivated audiences worldwide through its imaginative blend of Norse mythology and fantasy elements illustrated within rich 3D environments populated by colorful 2D characters.
The franchise became particularly popular in Southeast Asia—prompting what many dubbed an MMORPG renaissance alongside contemporaries like World of Warcraft or Runescape during the early 2000s—garnering over 100 million player accounts and generating upwards of $2 billion over two decades.
Community-Driven Gameplay Innovations
A distinctive feature that set apart Ragnarok was its unparalleled ability to cultivate vibrant player communities via guild mechanics—including cooperative dungeon runs or competitive Player versus Player (PvP) matchmaking such as War of Emperium events. Furthermore, innovative character progression paths allowed players numerous customization options across diverse job classes like Knights or Assassins—all enriching personalized gaming experiences tremendously.
The title also pioneered dynamic player-driven economies as secondary markets flourished where trading items or zeny (the game’s currency) thrived informally among loyal gamers seeking rare loot—a clear indication that stronger infrastructure was necessary given these activities’ popularity throughout various communities engaging face-to-face trades or external platforms.]
Status Resurgence via Spin-offs and Community Preservation
