MapleStory Destiny Showcase!
Earlier today, the MapleStory Destiny Showcase took place, where Nexon showed off all the things we’re getting in this winter update, which includes the Adventurer remaster, boss changes, Voice of Mapler improvements, and the 2021 winter events. The video is timestamped and you can watch through it yourself, but I’ll have a translated summary of sorts below.
In addition, the test server opened soon after with some of the things from the video. I’ll cover that in a separate post which should be up later tonight!
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).
KMST ver. 1.2.131 – Foggy Forest Training Centre & Other Improvements

A new test server patch has been released. This one is pretty small, there’s a new feature available in Mu Lung Dojo that makes it a lot easier to test your damage and a bunch of improvements/bug fixes. There’s also the event we’ll have for the next month and the return of the I Didn’t Do Anything event.
KMS ver. 1.2.353 – Chu Chu Food Festival

The first post-Maple LIVE patch has been released, containing the Chu Chu Food Festival event to celebrate Chuseok! This patch also includes updates to the Seed and Reboot World as well as various other improvements.
No 64-bit client snuck into the update, so we might get it later this month or even later if it got delayed.
