MapleStory Summer 2025 Showcase – Assemble!
The MapleStory Summer 2025 showcase Assemble took place yesterday, detailing what content will be added in the coming months. The first patch will include a new Anima warrior job, Len, the second patch will release new 6th job skills for all classes, and the third patch will add a new boss. And of course it all comes with a bunch of QoL improvements and features, and various events such as enhanced Hyper Burning and Challengers World.
Following the showcase, the test server was updated with the new job. Since it’s an Anima class, all of its skills are written in Hanja which makes translations more difficult and time-consuming, so we’ll see when I can finish the post by.

The MapleStory’s 22nd Anniversary: Maple University event has begun! It’s honestly a little barebones but Changseop said to look forward to the second half in May as they will be adding more. Of course, this patch contains the skill balancing (with additional changes from KMST), the UI reorganization, the new Maple Home system, the updated MVP system, and more.
The next live server patch is on May 21 so we can expect a KMST patch on May 14. They said in the Maple Now that it wouldn’t be as big as this patch, but I’m sure it will still have some interesting content.

Following up on the March update that surprised everyone with the Star Force reorganization, Director Changseop has followed it up with another huge off season patch (and a Maple Now stream like usual). This time, it was a full skill balancing that changes all classes to 2 minute cycles and updating most of the game’s UIs! It also includes the Maple Home system (KMS’ version of the overseas My Home system) which I’ve been asking for for so many years and a big update to the MVP system.
This patch will be coming to the official server next week which could bring some additional changes. It starts off the MapleStory 22nd anniversary: Maple University, and I’ll cover that event in the next post.

The fourth and final patch of the MapleStory NEXT update has been released, featuring the new Destiny Weapon system as well as a big update to the Star Force system (mainly being able to reach 30 stars)! Everything basically came as-is from the test server, except for a bit of changes to the values of the Adversary’s Resolve drops from bosses for the Destiny Weapon missions.
Next month is MapleStory’s 22nd anniversary, the live server patch will be on April 17 and the test server patch will probably be on April 10. It’s also going to be the first patch with brand new content that wasn’t covered by the NEXT showcase.

This test server patch was kinda nuts considering the only thing we knew was going to be included was the Destiny Weapon and it ended up having huge updates to the overall Star Force progression system lol. Changseop explained the update in more detail in his Maple Now stream.
We’ll see if there are any changes when this comes to the official server next week!
