Greetings, warriors of Legend of YMIR. This is Executive Producer Seok Hoon.
We are now approaching the 50th day since the global launch of Legend of YMIR. Even at this very moment, our development team is working tirelessly, to the point where 24 hours a day isn’t enough, as we continue developing new content and improving the game for our warriors. With deep gratitude for all the love and support you have shown us, I would like to begin the eighth Valhalla Letter.
This past weekend, in celebration of the upcoming 50th day of service, we held Partners Day, an offline event in Taiwan and Thailand. During this event, we met our dedicated warriors and our Partners, the operators of the Partner’s Servers, in person. We introduced our vision for the future of the Land of YMIR and had meaningful conversations as we listened to your genuine thoughts and feedback.
Through this Partners Day event, we got to hear directly from our warriors about where you want Legend of YMIR to go, as well as the areas you feel need improvement. By answering your questions and listening to your thoughts, we gained a lot of inspiration for future updates. We will continue striving to become a Legend of YMIR that grows together with you by strengthening the parts you praise and improving the areas you feel need attention.
We’re already planning more Partners Day events so we can continue hearing from warriors all around the world. We hope you’ll look forward to them.
To celebrate the upcoming 50th day of service, we’ll soon be sharing an introduction to Partners Day along with a highlight video that captures all the excitement from the event. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
Even though we couldn’t meet everyone in person this time, we wanted to share the vision presented at the event with every warrior across the Land of YMIR, which is why we prepared this letter. Now let’s talk about the major update roadmap through the second quarter of 2026, as well as the Partner's Server update plans that will help take your kingdom to the next level.
Chapter 1. Milestones of a Grand Journey (Update Roadmap)
The Land of YMIR will continue to expand without pause. Beginning with December’s vertical growth update, massive seasons filled with both cooperation and competition await you.
[December] The Beginning of Vertical Progression and Inter-Server Battles
ㆍNew Area - Nidavellir: This December, we will introduce the first vertical progression update with the addition of the new region, Nidavellir. A vast new area, Nidavellir will be gradually unveiled to match your pace of progression. Through the Awakening System and new Potentials, this region will guide our warriors toward a higher tier of power.
Nidavellir: Lindwurm
ㆍThe Power of the Supreme, the Conqueror: The winner of the Server Battle will gain the mighty authority of the Conqueror, which grants control over boss spawn times and the gWEMIX tax rate.
Conqueror
ㆍWorld Championship: The Journey Toward the YMIR Cup: Through the YMIR Cup preliminaries and finals held across December and January, we will determine the strongest warriors who will advance to the long-awaited World Championship in February.
World Championship: YMIR Cup
[Q1 2026] Season 2: The Era of Cooperation
Season 2 will arrive with the new year under the theme of Cooperation. When you stand shoulder to shoulder with your allies, you can conquer challenges that once felt impossible.
ㆍHall of Cooperation & Hardcore Dungeon: The Hall of Cooperation, a party-based cooperative content, and the extreme challenge of the 15-player Hardcore Dungeon: Jarnhamash, where resurrection attempts are limited, await your arrival.

ㆍTower of Mirrors: From rank 1 to rank 50, Mirror Clones created using the actual data of top-ranking players will offer a unique experience where you can cross swords with legendary named warriors.

ㆍNew Progression - Mercenary and Rune System: The Mercenary System, which allows you to participate in battles on other servers, and the Rune System, which lets you grow through runes dropped in awakening areas, will add new layers of progression and strategic depth to your character.

[Q2 2026] Season 3: The Era of Competition
A storm of competition returns to challenge the Einherjar, who have become stronger through cooperation.
ㆍBattlefront: The season’s PVP zone, the Battlefront, will serve as the center of competition. Fight for the rewards you can’t afford to give up, including powerful monsters and exceptional EXP gains.

ㆍWorld Boss Audhumla: We invite you into intense inter-server competition for the new World Boss, Audhumla, a threat surpassing Phantom of Loki. Clash fiercely with warriors from other servers.
World Boss: Audhumla
ㆍSeason Expeditions: The new expedition ‘Laubaur’ is a defense-style expedition that will bring a fresh layer of fun to gameplay. The 15-player expedition ‘Fafnir’ is a special expedition where you can obtain exclusive accessories that drop only from Fafnir.
15-Player Expedition: Fafnir
ㆍMimir’s Spring & Mastery System: A brand-new growth system, not yet released even in Korea, will be added to the game. At Mimir’s Spring, where all knowledge of the world is said to gather, you will be able to choose your own growth path and forge a unique route no one else has taken. Alongside this, the Mastery System will be introduced, allowing you to further enhance your character by gathering new regional materials after Awakening.

Chapter 2. Partner's Server: From Game to Culture
The Partner's Server is not simply a server operated by an administrator. It is a kingdom ruled by a Partner who serves as the King, guiding it with their own governing philosophy. Over time, each kingdom will develop its own identity and build it into a culture.
[Strengthening the Royal Authority: Absolute Authority]
For smooth governance, the King must pass judgment on those who disrupt the kingdom’s order and make decisions that will shape its future.
ㆍPrison System and Summon: The King can send players who threaten the kingdom’s order to Prison. The Prison System includes features such as Escape, providing new forms of engaging content and enhancing the Partner’s authority. In addition, the Summon System allows the King to instantly summon any player before the throne, strengthening the feeling of royal power.
ㆍRoyal Order: A kingdom facing new challenges requires strong decisions from the King. The King may choose the developmental direction of their kingdom. They may commit the entire nation to all-out war, focusing on PvP, or take a moment to breathe and focus on growth, leaning toward PvE. This choice will determine the kingdom’s identity. Watching how the power balance of the Land of YMIR shifts based on these decisions will be one of the most exciting aspects of the Royal Order update.
ㆍPartner Exclusive Mount: Kings chosen for their role will receive an exclusive Ground Companion, a symbol of royal authority.
Strengthening the Royal Authority
[Cooperation, Conflict, and Competition: The Dawn of Diplomacy]
A new system marking the start of Diplomacy, a key element in a kingdom’s growth, will be added.
ㆍTHE MATCH: This is a duel mode where you can directly set various rules such as Deathmatch, Annihilation, Boss Fight and challenge another server to determine the stronger kingdom.
ㆍSindri's Lost Treasure Island: This is a large-scale clan conquest event that spans an entire region. Highly valuable treasures naturally draw fierce competition. The mind games to claim the best islands, along with unexpected invasions from other servers, will mark the intense beginning of inter-kingdom diplomacy.
Sindri's Lost Treasure Island
[Unity of the Kingdom: A Culture Built Together]
The strength of a kingdom comes from careful planning, strategy, and the active engagement of its members. To support this, a variety of new content will be added to help Partners and players grow closer and strengthen their unity.
ㆍMimir's Goblet & Hidden Treasure: A treasure-hunting event will be introduced where the King hides special treasures and players search for them to earn rare rewards. This content goes beyond simple rewards, offering both excitement and a chance to strengthen the bonds within your server.
Mimir's Goblet
ㆍGifting Power: The King will be able to bestow gifts directly upon players or clans who have made notable contributions.
ㆍRagnarok Assault: A kingdom’s true strength is revealed in times of crisis. A defense-style event, Ragnarok Assault, will be added where the King and players join forces to repel massive monster invasions. The camaraderie forged through battle will make your server’s unity even stronger.
Ragnarok Assault
The future of Legend of YMIR is clear. The kingdoms you build come together to form history, and that history grows into a culture that cannot be replaced.
When the grand gates of Nidavellir open in December and royal authority is strengthened, we look forward to meeting you on an even greater and more magnificent Land of YMIR.
Thank you.
