Maple Now (August 13, 2026)
Really quick Maple Now stream this week for the August update, which is pretty small. Changseop is hyping up the September update though!
Read more…2025 MapleStory Winter Showcase – Crown!
The winter showcase for the winter update, Maplestory Crown, took place yesterday! The main features were a new 6th job common skill for bossing, not one, not two, but three new bosses, and the Kinesis remaster!
The test server also opened up shortly afterwards, but I think this time, I’m going to skip the KMST post since the first official server patch is in a few days so there isn’t much time in-between. This post will just be an overview of what was revealed at the showcase.

The third patch of the MapleStory NEXT update has been released, featuring the new boss, Baldrix, Apostle of Darmoor! They actually lowered his HP a bit from test -> live, in both Normal and Hard Mode. It also contains new features such as the Cross World Boss Content system and various quality of life improvements.
The next official server patch is on March 20, for the addition of the new Destiny Weapon, so we can expect a KMST update on March 13.

The 2024 MapleStory winter showcase, NEXT, took place yesterday at KINTEX in Ilsan, Korea, where they announced the next three months of content. And of course, right after it ended, KMST was opened with some of that.
I’m going to cover just the showcase in this post, with the main bullet points and some of the details that Changseop mentioned. Currently working on the KMST patch notes, will probably take a longer than normal amount of time considering the number of skills added all at once. The next KMST patch will be in less than a week, and then it all gets released in the official servers the week after so it’s going to be post after post after post!
Also, although I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to go to the Maple Con/NEXT showcase, Steve was and he sent me a million pictures he took there. Would people be interested in a post about the IRL events/minigames/prizes/etc. they had there? It would probably not be for a couple of weeks at least though considering all the other stuff coming out soon.

The second Fall update has been released to the official servers. This patch contains the level 290 area Tallahart, as well as very drastic skill balancing (with some additional changes from the test server) and various QoL improvements!
Next month, we’re going to get Asmos Canyon, which we don’t know much about. In the Milestone showcase, they said it would be a new type of system that rewards enhancement items equivalent to mesos or something like that, which is pretty vague.
