MapleStory Worlds Soft Launch Now in Americas, Europe on Mobile, PC

Attention all MapleStory enthusiasts! The long-awaited moment has arrived as Nexon introduces the latest addition to their beloved franchise, MapleStory Worlds, now available on mobile and PC in both the Americas and Europe after its soft launch in late 2024. This exciting release marks a significant milestone for fans who have been eagerly waiting for a new chapter in the MapleStory universe.

MapleStory Worlds can be best described as a "Roblox for MapleStory." Players have the creative freedom to design their own side-scrolling adventures using both basic and advanced tools. Whether you're into crafting classic MapleStory-style RPGs, engaging in action-packed shooters, or simply socializing with friends, the possibilities are endless. The game supports cross-platform play, allowing seamless interaction between mobile and PC users.

Nexon has highlighted the monetization potential for creators, showcasing how different experiences can generate revenue. However, the true allure for many fans lies in the opportunity to recreate and enhance classic MapleStory experiences using these new tools.

World of your own

While I'm personally drawn to the charming, pixelated aesthetic that the MapleStory franchise is known for, I must admit I approach MapleStory Worlds with a mix of intrigue and skepticism. The response from longtime fans has been mixed, with not everyone expressing overwhelming enthusiasm for Worlds. Yet, the promise of exploring a wide array of experiences—from platformers to zombie survival games—suggests that MapleStory Worlds might stand strong as its own unique platform. Only time will tell how it will be received during the soft launch and upon its official release.
