Look, let's be honest: Wemade finally pushed the button on 13th, officially launching their MMORPG 'MIR M: Vanguard and Vagabond' (hereafter 'MIR M') in China. You can jump into the fray right now via Android, iOS, or PC platforms.

If you are familiar with the studio's pedigree, you will recognise 'MIR M' as a reimagining of their flagship title, 'The Legend of Mir 2'. The developers have put in the legwork to capture that authentic 'Mir' flavour, retaining key elements like iconic items, eight-way grid combat, and that classic quarter-view perspective.

Wemade claims they have retooled the combat systems and equipment progression structures to better suit the tastes of Chinese players. They have also tweaked the UI and UX to meet local standards, in what the publisher calls 'optimisation'. The launch version also introduces 'Mir Partners', a community-driven model. If selected as a partner, you will be expected to stir up the community and churn out content, with the promise of incentives based on your performance.

It is worth remembering that the original 'The Legend of Mir 2' was a titan of its time, boasting a cumulative 500 million users in China and commanding a 65% market share back in 2004. At its zenith in 2005, it even hit a staggering 800,000 Concurrent Players. Best of luck to them.
