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

Fans of the MapleStory franchise have reason to celebrate as the latest addition to the Nexon series, MapleStory Worlds, has now hit soft launch in both the Americas and Europe! Initially soft-launched in late 2024, this exciting new title is now available for both mobile and PC in these regions.

MapleStory Worlds can be best described as a 'Roblox for MapleStory.' It empowers players to craft their own side-scrolling adventures using a range of tools, from basic to advanced. Whether you're into classic MapleStory-style RPGs, shooting games, or just looking to socialize, the possibilities are vast. You can even recreate the beloved classic MapleStory experiences with enhanced tools at your disposal.

One of the standout features of MapleStory Worlds is its cross-platform play, allowing seamless interaction between mobile and PC users. Nexon has highlighted in trailers and creator testimonials how these user-generated experiences can be monetized. Yet, for many fans, the allure lies in the ability to build and share unique adventures within the MapleStory universe.

I must admit, I'm intrigued yet slightly skeptical about MapleStory Worlds. The franchise's charming, crunchy pixel art is undeniably appealing, yet the enthusiasm among long-time fans for Worlds seems tempered. However, the promise of exploring diverse experiences—from platformers to zombie survival games—suggests that it might find its niche as a standalone platform. We'll have to wait and see how it performs during the soft launch and upon its official release.
