Nexon America Unleashes Massive
MapleStory Expansion

North America’s most popular
free-to-play MMORPG begins new epic storyline and adds original maps, enemies,
story-focused quests and weapons

Nexon America Inc. unveils one of
the largest expansions in the history of MapleStory, adding to the continent of
Masteria and delivering a truly new gaming experience to one of the most beloved
games in North America, with over 5.9 million players.

The “Crimsonwood Keep” expansion
delivers a wealth of new content including 31 new maps, 11 unique enemies, 12
extensive, story-focused quests and a collection of new weapons and objects. The
update will also give pets an additional skill and improve the user interface
with language filter updates and additional platforming features.

MapleStory has amassed over 87
million users worldwide by creating a fantastical online world. One of the most
popular places in the MapleWorld is the continent of Masteria. Here players will
get a chance to explore the expanded Phantom Forest, which is filled with
leprechauns, wraiths, the Headless Horseman and a new boss monster, Bigfoot.

Players who navigate their way
through the forest will reach the Crimsonwood Mountain, featuring numerous new
enemies and challenging platform-style game play.

MapleStory’s popularity has also led
to the opening of a new server—Yellonde. To celebrate the new opening, Nexon
will award the top 75 ranked players across the first month with prizes!

In addition to all the new content,
MapleStory delivers the second part of its Summer Break Events, including two
exciting video events. Participants can win a wide range of prizes and learn
