Nexon announced on the 9th that it unveiled its upcoming large-scale update plan through the 2025 Summer Showcase 'ASSEMBLE' held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 7th.
This showcase was sold out within a minute of the pre-booking start, and the CGV live-streamed seats, which were the largest ever, were sold out early in two minutes, opening additional theaters to prove users' interest. About 10,000 people gathered at the Jangchung Gymnasium site and CGV theater, and 'Maple Story'Summer Showcase'Amble'Live was successful both online and offline, reaching more than 1 million views, Nexon said.
On this day, a special stage was held to commemorate the showcase, including a theme song performance of a new job "Len", followed by a detailed presentation of summer updates by general director Kim Chang-seop.
Nexon first unveiled a new job, a second 6th skill core, and a new boss monster as the core content of the large-scale update in the summer. A new job 'Red-eyed Wanderer, Ren' is a rabbit Anima warrior who uses a dedicated weapon 'Long Sword' to perform quick swordsmanship, and fights splendid battles with his main skills 'Plum Sword' and 'Net Hon Sword'. Users who have pre-registered by the 18th will be given a medal of the `Start of the Wandering' and `Wandering's Robe Exchange Ticket` and `Wandering Window` chair items, and various grooming and growth support items will be given through a lottery through various fostering events held after the update on the 19th.
Also on July 17, a second 6th skill core 'Ascent Skill' that succeeds the 6th former Origin Skill will be added to the previous job. 'Ascent Skill' is a skill core characterized by an explosive attack in a short moment in a boss battle. In particular, it can be used up to three consecutive times without waiting time for reuse in boss battles, so it can be used in various ways according to the individual's fighting method.
This summer's last update, the new boss 'first adversary', will then be added on August 14. A new boss monster 'first adversary' in the Audium region can be challenged with characters above 270 levels, appearing in a total of four difficulties: 'Easy', 'Normal', 'Hard', and 'Extreme'. You can participate in a party of up to three people, and if you clear the difficulty of 'Hard' and 'Extreme', you can win a medal item for a new radiant boss accessory, 'immortal legacy'.
In addition, large-scale improvements will be applied along with the first update of the summer on the 19th. Convenience and system improvements will be applied together, including integration of all job cache storage boxes, introduction of gender-restricted features 'Freestyle Coupons', initialization of skill cool time when entering a boss, expansion of world-integrated boss content, reorganization of dynamic fields, and job story quest skip.
