Ragnarok Landverse, the blockchain-based MMORPG based on the classic Ragnarok Online, will be arriving in Ronin early this year, as Sky Mavis and Zentry joined forces to combine Zentry’s pioneering Web3 gaming work with Ronin’s unparalleled distribution in gaming. Played by over 100 million players and generating over $2 billion in revenue, Ragnarok Online is one of the world’s biggest gaming IPs, now arriving on the world’s biggest blockchain for gaming.
This will allow millions of gamers to enter the Web3 ecosystem through Ragnarok, bridging classic gameplay with revolutionary digital ownership and community engagement. Ragnarok Landverse stays true to its immersive gameplay while offering new opportunities for players to earn and own without requiring interaction with its Web3 components to enjoy the game.
This project is made possible by the IP licensing partnership between Gravity, the publisher of the Ragnarok IP, with Zentry and its flagship game technology studio Maxion. More than just being a Web3 version of the beloved MMORPG classic, Ragnarok Landverse is renowned for its immersive gameplay that invites players to embark on epic quests, face powerful monsters, and connect with a vibrant online community.
During its soft launch, Ragnarok Landverse has already engaged over 400,000 players, generating $15 million in revenue from in-game items and NFT sales in 2024. With its success, it is perfectly positioned to unite its dedicated global fanbase while also inviting new users to experience the Ragnarok universe.
Ragnarok Landverse’s arrival in Ronin may help it reach its growth potential. Ronin, thanks to its breakout Web3 title Axie Infinity, is the world’s fastest-growing gaming blockchain, having a proven track record in scalability and reach. This partnership will allow Zentry to tap into Ronin’s 4.7 million monthly active users to join its budding community. On the flip side, Ragnarok’s Landverse’s bustling economy will add to Ronin’s currently 3 million daily transactions.
Sky Mavis, the developers of Ronin, assures users of seamless integration of gameplay and blockchain features through its platform.
“Our partnership with Sky Mavis goes beyond launching Ragnarok Landverse on Ronin. Together, we’re paving the way for future Biggest gaming IPs to transition into Web3,” says Zentry Founder and CEO Jarindr Thitadilaka. “By focusing on engaging gameplay, global accessibility, and blockchain-powered asset ownership—without relying on incentives like tokens—Ragnarok Landverse demonstrates that Web3 gaming success is possible through quality alone. We are fully committed to making our vision of onboarding 50 million global users to Web3 gaming a reality.”
“Having been a Ragnarok player myself, I understand the deep nostalgia and connection this game evokes in its global community. Zentry’s Ragnarok Landverse—with its massive player base and $15 million in NFT sales—proves that Web3 gaming is about creating experiences that players truly love, enabling players to earn and collect,” says Sky Mavis Co-Founder and CEO Trung Nguyen. “With Ronin’s proven track record of powering Web3 hits and our mission to bring economic freedom to everyone, starting with gamers, we’re thrilled to help expand Ragnarok Landverse to an even larger, more engaged audience.”
As part of Ragnarok Landverse’s integration into the Ronin network, Zentry will also become a node validator within the ecosystem. Zentry’s Nexus Season 1, the player portal for humans and AI agents to “help supercharge gaming communities,” also had exclusively onboarded Ronin.
Players can pre-register for Ragnarok Landverse access starting today and join the adventure in Q1 2025. Stay tuned for more details and community updates here.
