MapleStory Worlds Launches on Mobile and PC in Americas, Europe

Fans of the MapleStory franchise have a reason to celebrate as Nexon's latest release, MapleStory Worlds, is now launching in both the Americas and Europe! After a soft launch in late 2024, this exciting addition to the franchise is officially available on mobile and PC platforms across these regions.

MapleStory Worlds can be thought of as the MapleStory equivalent of Roblox. Players have the opportunity to craft their own side-scrolling adventures using a variety of tools, ranging from basic to advanced. Whether you're interested in creating classic MapleStory-style RPGs, action-packed shooters, or spaces for social interaction, MapleStory Worlds provides the assets and flexibility to bring your vision to life.

One of the standout features of MapleStory Worlds is its support for cross-platform play, allowing seamless interaction between mobile and PC users. Nexon has highlighted the monetization potential of these user-generated experiences in both trailers and creator testimonials. However, for many fans, the real allure may lie in the ability to recreate and enhance classic MapleStory experiences with new tools at their disposal.

As someone who appreciates the distinctive, crunchy pixel art of the MapleStory series, I find myself both intrigued and cautiously optimistic about MapleStory Worlds. While the response from long-time fans has been mixed, the platform promises a diverse range of experiences—from platformers to zombie survival games. As a standalone platform, MapleStory Worlds might just find its niche. Only time will tell how well it's received now that it's fully launched.
