Classic MMORPG Franchise Expands to Ronin Network
The iconic Ragnarok Landverse multiplayer online role-playing game will integrate with Ethereum sidechain Ronin in early 2025, marking a substantial expansion for the popular franchise. Developer Maxion reports $15 million in NFT sales and 400,000 active players on its current BNB Chain implementation.
Strategic Blockchain Integration
The Genesis version represents a fresh start on Ronin, implementing a phased migration approach for existing assets. Players can access the free-to-play experience on PC and Android platforms, with blockchain features including:
- Mineable in-game resources
- Token-based reward systems
- Digital asset ownership
Maxion’s parent company Zentry strengthens the integration by establishing a validator node on the Ronin network. This marks their strategic position in creating interconnected Web3 gaming experiences following their April rebranding from GuildFi.
Expanding Ecosystem
Ronin, an Ethereum-based gaming network developed by Sky Mavis, continues its growth beyond its flagship title Axie Infinity. The platform hosts prominent titles including Pixels, establishing itself as a primary destination for blockchain gaming applications.
The implementation follows the launch of Ragnarok: Monster World on Ronin, a competitive player-versus-player title. Additionally, DeLabs Games announced a separate blockchain-based Ragnarok project scheduled for release through Telegram in Q1 2025, indicating growing momentum for blockchain integration within the franchise.
Pre-registration has commenced, offering early adopters potential rewards through Ronin wallet connectivity. This expansion represents a significant development for both the traditional gaming franchise and the blockchain gaming sector.
