Wemade, a South Korean game publisher, has announced that ROM: Golden Age, a new multiplayer online role-playing game developed by RedLab Games, will be released via the Wemix blockchain platform. This move aligns with Wemade’s strategy of focusing on a smaller portfolio of high-quality titles.
ROM: Golden Age builds upon the foundation of ROM: Remember of Majesty, which was released in 2024 in ten countries and published by KakaoGames. The original game developed a solid player base, particularly in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The upcoming title continues the franchise, incorporating both its gameplay mechanics and narrative setting while introducing blockchain-related features.
According to RedLab Games, ROM: Golden Age is designed as a multi-platform MMORPG that retains the core structure of traditional role-playing games while incorporating aspects of the web3 ecosystem. These elements aim to offer new layers of gameplay functionality, including systems that allow players to interact with in-game assets in more dynamic ways.
The integration of blockchain into the game is consistent with Wemade’s previous titles on the Wemix platform. Games such as Mir4 and Night Crows already operate on Wemix with blockchain-based features that allow high-level players to mint characters as NFTs and trade in-game assets. These functions are intended to provide added value and engagement for users seeking more control and ownership within the game world.
ROM: Golden Age to Launch on Wemix
ROM: Golden Age is currently expected to launch in the third quarter of 2025. RedLab Games has positioned the title as a key step forward in its development of online games that bridge traditional and blockchain gaming models. The game will be available on multiple platforms, continuing Wemade’s approach of supporting accessibility across devices.
Shin Hyun-keun, CEO of RedLab Games, stated that collaborating with Wemix represents a significant opportunity. He emphasized the studio’s commitment to delivering a game that meets both the expectations of MMORPG players and the technical standards of the web3 gaming environment.
The release of ROM: Golden Age reflects a broader trend within the gaming industry, where traditional game development intersects with blockchain technologies. Wemade’s ongoing support for web3 integration suggests a continued focus on titles that offer deeper digital ownership and economic systems within their virtual environments.
As the industry explores the possibilities of web3-based gaming, ROM: Golden Age may serve as an example of how established game formats can adapt to include new technologies while maintaining familiar gameplay experiences. The game's performance and reception upon launch will likely provide further insight into the evolving role of blockchain in mainstream online gaming.
