South Korean outfit Wemade recently made several announcements as part of its Wemix day.

Some key introductions included:

• Wemix Pay
• PLAY token 
• New games

Wemix Pay is a new payment system for the Wemix platform that will reward users with Prime Points. These can be used to access VIP passes, NFTs and airdrops. Scheduled to launch in H2 2024, Wemix Pay will also be integrated into major Wemix Play games and serve as a way to drive utility and demand.

Another addition will be the PLAY token. This is tied to actual in-game revenue and will only be minted when someone uses Wemix Pay. It will be required to buy some items in games such as Night Crows. The PLAY tokens are then burned and not recirculated, in order to prevent inflation. PLAY tokens can be earned alongside Prime Points through Wemix Pay.

These new and revamped features are part of Wemix’s new strategic direction, announced ahead of Wemix Day. In essence, it entails a refocus from high-volume to fewer but more high-quality games.

To this end, Wemade announced new games including web3-native Legend of Ymir and an MMORPG from Mir4’s developers called Project M. These won’t be released until late 2025 and 2026. In addition, RPG Crystal of Naramunz will launch on Wemix in early 2025, while Meta Toy DragonZ Saga will migrate from Immutable.

Finally, Wemix will launch its Wepublic voting and donation system in 2025, so charitable organizations can raise money by creating DAOs and engaging with the Wemix community.
