Global MapleStory Celebrates 20th Anniversary at MapleCon 2025
LOS ANGELES – October 31, 2025 – MapleCon 2025 celebrated Global MapleStory's 20th Anniversary in Los Angeles this past weekend, revealing brand-new details for the anticipated Classic MapleStory, Winter Update and 2026 seasonal events.
Chief Product Officer Hanbyeol Oh (Inkwell) introduced MapleStory Classic World—a “Modern Classic” reimagining of the original MapleStory for today's players. Designed around three pillars—Origins, Evolution, and Beyond—the project celebrates nostalgia while enhancing balance, accessibility, and content. Attendees enjoyed the world's first hands-on demo, and a Closed Online Test is planned for early 2026.
Arriving November 12, the Winter Update for Global MapleStory delivers sweeping improvements, including the new job Ren, the Rabbit Anima Warrior, who wields fluid swordsmanship through skills like Plum Blossom Sword and Imugi Spirit Sword. Players can also look forward to Lv. 3 Link Skills for all jobs, guaranteed Dawn and Pitched Accessories from bosses, restoration options via Star Cores or Boss Missions, and an expanded Familiar System introducing Mystic Frontier missions. Quality-of-life upgrades, including UI updates and expanded Familiar storage, round out the improvements. Seasonal events such as Twilight Eve (Nov. 12, 2025 – Feb. 3, 2026), Hyper Burning MAX, and The First Adversary boss battle arriving December 17, 2025, will keep players engaged well into 2026.
Meanwhile, the original MapleStory PC service continues to thrive, celebrating its community through live events and ongoing seasonal content.
