Ragnarok on Telegram

A major highlight for Delabs is the launch of Ragnarok as a Telegram-based game. The company aims to reimagine the popular RPG’s gameplay, blending the nostalgic appeal of the original with innovative features tailored to the Telegram platform. Players can explore diverse adventures, earn rewards, and experience seamless integration between web2 and web3 environments.

The game, set for a global release in Q1 2025, reflects Delabs’ dedication to addressing user feedback and designing a unified gaming experience. This move targets both web2 and web3 audiences, bridging traditional gaming with the evolving world of blockchain-based games.

Building on Previous Success

Delabs’ approach to Telegram gaming builds on the successes of 4:33 Creative Lab, a studio renowned for introducing social gaming features on Kakao with games like Blade and Hero. These titles initially captivated casual players before evolving into mid-core and hardcore gaming experiences. By bringing this expertise to Telegram, Delabs aims to create an even stronger foundation in the social gaming ecosystem, bolstered by web3 capabilities.

Delabs’ presence at the YGG Play Summit signals its intent to lead the charge in integrating social gaming with web3 technologies. With the launch of Ragnarok and Boxing Star on Telegram, the company continues to expand its reach, offering players innovative ways to connect, compete, and engage in the evolving gaming landscape.
