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, MapleStory Worlds, has now soft-launched in both the Americas and Europe! Initially released in late 2024, this exciting new chapter is available on both mobile and PC platforms.

MapleStory Worlds can be thought of as a Roblox for the MapleStory universe. Players have the freedom to craft their own side-scrolling adventures using a suite of both basic and advanced tools provided by Nexon. Whether you're interested in creating classic MapleStory-style RPGs, engaging in shooting games, or simply socializing with others, the possibilities are vast.

One of the standout features of MapleStory Worlds is its cross-platform compatibility, allowing seamless play between mobile and PC users. Nexon has highlighted the potential for monetization of these user-generated experiences, but for many fans, the real draw will be the ability to recreate and enhance classic MapleStory adventures with new tools at their disposal.

World of your ownWhile I'm personally intrigued by the concept, I must admit to a hint of skepticism. The beloved pixel art style of MapleStory is undeniably appealing, yet the reception among long-time fans has been somewhat reserved. MapleStory Worlds offers a range of experiences, from platformers to zombie survival games, which might be better appreciated as a standalone platform. The true test will come during the soft launch phase and upon its official release.
