MapleStory Destiny: Winter Showcase Announced
The 2021 winter update showcase has been announced! This winter will be the MapleStory Destiny update, and the showcase will take place on December 23. This pretty much confirms that the next KMST patch will be on that same day, but I doubt it will include the Adventurer remasters since that would leave only one week of testing.
Discussion Topic Selection & Background Information (12/1 ~ 1/31)

After about a month break, the MapleStory team has chosen the next discussion board topic! For the next two months, the discussion topic will be Overall convenience improvements.
MapleStory Winter Update Interviews

Today a few different Korean news sites released interviews with MapleStory’s director Kang Won-ki and the planning team director Kim Chang-seop, where they talked about the direction the winter update will be taking and what things we can expect. They also confirmed that the Winter update will take place at the end of December, and they are currently working on the Winter update showcase.
This includes the now titled Adventurer Remaster, where all the Adventurer classes will be updated with new skill effects and improvements to their skill mechanics. Only three jobs have been previewed (Dark Knight, Marksman, Captain) but I’m not sure if they will wait to show off the other jobs until the showcase comes out.
KMS ver. 1.2.356 – Wanna Be Maple Idol!

This patch includes the Foggy Forest Training Centre, a new feature in Mu Lung Dojo that lets you customize monsters and test your damage, as well as a couple events: Wanna Be Maple Idol and I Haven’t Done Anything. These events end on December 8 so we should be getting a test server patch on December 1, which could be the first part of the winter update (although it will probably just be a small pre-update patch).
