Shoot for the Stars with Global MapleStory's Dazzling New Stargazer Update

Part I of the Summer's Update Launches with New Character Sia Astelle, a New Event World, In-Game Events and More

LOS ANGELES – June 12, 2025 – NEXON's popular side-scrolling 2D MMORPG Global MapleStory has kicked off Part I of its summer Stargazer update introducing Sia Astelle, the intense Challenger World, and limited-time in-game events filled with adventures and formidable challenges.

New Job Sia Astelle Arrives

Originally debuting in MapleStory M, Sia Astelle's release in Global MapleStory marks the first time a new character is introduced from the mobile version.

This Star Guardian descends into Maple World as a cosmic crisis unfolds. A mysterious dark wish has thrown the constellations into chaos, disrupting the Star Spirit's celestial duties. In battle, she channels the raw energy of the stars, weaving constellation-based magic into dazzling, high-impact spells.

Her bold, star-charged combos and celestial strikes don't just defeat enemies, they blast them into orbit.

Challenger World

Challenger World is packed with powerful stat bonuses and massive EXP boosts. Players take on tough challenges, defeat fierce bosses, and push their skills to the limit. They can complete the challenging missions to earn points and gain a plethora of rewards and exclusive items as they climb the ranks. Once they've conquered the challenges, they can use World Leap to jump to Interactive or Heroic worlds and keep the adventure going.

Hyper Burning MAX 1 + 4

Burning MAX takes the leveling power of Hyper Burning to new heights. Like Hyper Burning, it helps players reach Level 260 but even faster, now granting four bonus levels for every level gained.

Morning Star Banquet
Gerand Darmoor has summoned his apostles for a grand High Flora banquet and players must infiltrate the gathering to uncover their secret plots and sinister schemes. Once there, they help prepare feasts for rewards every day, exchange rewards in the Coin, Badge, Meso Shops, clear monsters around their level range to help Breumi's Clean UP for extra EXP bonuses and earn powerful perks from Banquet's Blessing.

Coming in July
Even more adventure is on the horizon in Part II of the Stargazer update:

MapleStory X DAVE THE DIVER: Players dive into an exciting crossover event as Dave and his crew find themselves stranded in Maple World.

Ride or Die Returns: Kazax is back with upgraded minions wreaking havoc. It is up to players to take them down and earn exclusive summer rewards.

6th Job Mastery Nodes: Unlock Mastery Nodes #3 and #4 to enhance core skills with even greater power.
