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 first patch of the MapleStory Assemble update has been released, featuring the new class, the Red-Eyed Wanderer, Len! It also contains a ton of QoL improvements such as the Buff Sequence feature, cooldowns resetting upon boss entry, and a completely unified Cash Storage!
The next part of the update will be the second 6th job skills, Ascent Skills! There will be two test world patches for them, on July 3 and July 10.

Shortly after the showcase, the test server was updated with the new job, Len, as well as a large amount of QoL improvements. There will be another test server patch in a couple of days, probably with Len skill changes and the summer events.
Note for Len skills: like all other Anima classes, it is heavily based on Korean mythology and history, and all of the skill names use Hanja which is more difficult to translate and heavily subject to interpretation (thank you Neo for the assistance). I think most of them should be okay but some are definitely a bit long/weird-sounding and that’s because either I wasn’t 100% sure what the Hanja represented or it was too hard to concisely summarize what it meant. If you’re a native Korean with mastery over Hanja and have any suggestions/improvements, please let me know 🙂

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 first patch of the MapleStory winter update, NEXT, has been released! The main attraction is the completion of Mastery Cores with the 3rd and 4th Cores being added at the same time, but there’s also a ton of game changes and improvements like cross world Auction House/Meso Market, Genesis Weapon Liberation changes, and the Skill Sequence system which lets you buff up with a single key!
The main event for the next two months is the Dawn Star Banquet, a New Year’s banquet held at Darmoor’s royal villa in Arboris where many of the Apostles have gathered. Together with Primacy, you infiltrate the banquet to find more information on your enemies.
The next official server patch will be on January 16, so expect a test world update on January 9, where we will learn more about the new Union Champion system.
