Exciting news for fans of the Korean MMO Maple Story, as Nexon have announced details for the closed beta for its sequel, Maple Story 2. The long awaited sequel features many tropes from the original, as well as an increased focus on social features. Also, it’s in three dimensions!
Daav Valentaten writes - While the news may have passed for a lot of people, for nearly prophetic reasons, publisher Nexon recently announced that they would shut down MapleStory 2
This must be one of those Mandela effects; cause I've never heard of *anything* mentioned in this article. Complaining that a game that no one knew existed has been cancelled in order to push a new game that a year from now no one will have heard of....I'm not that concerned.
I didn't even know there was a Maple Story 2. I knew there was a first game, because some years back there were non-stop Engrishy ads promoting it on a ton of sites, saying things like "Nothing can stop you...to play this game 24/7!" I never played it though, so I guess I'll never know if it was that good. Perhaps it was better than the English of whoever came up with those ads, but that wouldn't be saying a lot.
It truly is a sad day in MMORPG history. Maplestory 2 is planning to completely shut down on May 27th, 2020.
Critically-acclaimed MMORPG MapleStory 2, has rolled out its eagerly anticipated Awakening Expansion Update via the Nexon Launcher and Steam.
