Nexon is developing a cryptocurrency and NFT-integrated version of its popular game, known as MapleStory Universe. This universe includes various games and platforms, with one prominent title being MapleStory N.
MapleStory N is expected to be a desktop game, incorporating cryptocurrency and NFTs. It is anticipated that the available character classes may differ from the original MapleStory. Reports from a cryptocurrency conference suggest that MapleStory N is slated for release in 2024.

Overview of MapleStory N
Complete details for MapleStory N are not yet available. Teasers are occasionally shared on the official Twitter account.
Trailers for MapleStory N indicate gameplay similar to the traditional MapleStory experience.
However, subtle differences are noticeable. The bottom of the screen in trailers may display additional features, possibly related to the game’s crypto and NFT integration.
It is speculated that in-game currency and items could be tradable on the blockchain as tokens or NFTs. Information suggests that certain items may be minted as NFTs, allowing for real-money transactions without relying on third-party platforms. Further details are expected closer to the game’s launch.

Ranking System Speculation
A ranking system, accompanied by a point system, has appeared in a teaser. The exact purpose of these features remains unclear, but they could potentially indicate a play-to-earn mechanism, offering opportunities to earn tokens or in-game items. This is currently speculative.

Social tasks for MapleStory Universe have reportedly commenced on its official website.
