Fans of the MapleStory franchise have reason to celebrate as the latest installment, MapleStory Worlds, is now launching in both the Americas and Europe! After a soft launch in late 2024, this exciting new addition is now available for mobile and PC users across these regions.
MapleStory Worlds can be thought of as the MapleStory equivalent of Roblox, offering a platform where players can use both basic and advanced tools to craft their own side-scrolling adventures. Whether you're into classic MapleStory-style RPGs, shooting games, or just looking to socialize with others, the possibilities are vast.
The game supports cross-platform play, allowing seamless interaction between mobile and PC users. Nexon has emphasized the monetization potential for creators in both trailers and testimonials, but for many fans, the real draw will likely be the chance to recreate and expand upon the classic MapleStory experiences using these enhanced tools.
World of Your Own
While I'm intrigued by MapleStory Worlds, I must admit to a certain level of skepticism. The franchise's iconic, crisp pixel art is undeniably appealing, yet the community's reaction to Worlds has been somewhat reserved. Nonetheless, the game promises a diverse range of experiences—from platformers to zombie survival games—potentially making it a compelling standalone platform. The true test will be how well it's received now that it's fully launched.
