MapleStory Universe Second Beta Launches on November 20

Why is MapleStory Universe worth participating in?

MapleStory Universe, the blockchain version of MapleStory, is an MMORPG game. Its parent company is Nexon, a South Korean gaming giant that developed classic online games such as MapleStory and KartRider. In the Web2 era, MapleStory is a huge IP with a history of more than 21 years, with more than 250 million user accounts and 6.7 million monthly active users.

It is worth noting that Nexon announced in December 2023 that it would invest $100 million in its Web3 game project MapleStory, aiming to expand the MapleStory universe. The investment will be used to develop a blockchain-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
