Exciting news for fans of the MapleStory franchise: MapleStory Worlds, the latest addition to the beloved Nexon series, has officially entered its soft launch phase in both the Americas and Europe! Initially soft-launched in late 2024, this innovative release is now accessible on mobile and PC platforms, bringing the joy of MapleStory to even more players.
Dubbed as "Roblox for MapleStory," MapleStory Worlds empowers you to craft your own side-scrolling adventures using a suite of basic and advanced tools. Whether you're into classic MapleStory-style RPGs, shooting games, or just looking to socialize with friends, the possibilities are endless. The platform supports cross-play between mobile and PC, ensuring you can enjoy your creations and those of others seamlessly across devices.
Nexon has highlighted the monetization potential for creators in both trailers and testimonials, showcasing how users can profit from their unique experiences. However, for many, the real allure lies in recreating and enhancing the classic MapleStory gameplay with modern tools.
World of your own
While I'm personally intrigued by MapleStory Worlds, I must admit to feeling a tinge of skepticism. The franchise's charming, crunchy pixel art is undeniably appealing, yet the community's response to Worlds has been somewhat muted. Nevertheless, the game promises a diverse range of experiences, from platformers to zombie survival games, which could make it a compelling standalone platform. Only time will tell how it's received during its soft launch and upon full release.
