Maple Now (July 16, 2026)

A new Maple Now livestream happened after the 2nd test world patch for the new 3rd skill core. That was prety much the main topic, where Changseop talked about their intentions and the feedback received from players. He also mentioned that there will be a big balance patch in September!

KMST ver. 1.2.203 – 3rd Hexa Skill Core!

The most recent test server update added the new 3rd Hexa skill cores! I’m sure most people have heard about them and the complaints that they’re way too weak, but I expect next week’s test server patch to make a bunch of changes for the better. Don’t expect later posts to be as fast as

2026 MapleStory Summer Showcase – Overdrive!

The 2026 MapleStory summer showcase Overdrive took place yesterday! The update features a new job, the Ruler of Covenants, Lethe, the 3rd Hexa skill core, a new boss Bellona, and various reorganizations and events. This test world will be quite short as the live server patch is on Thursday! Big thanks to DK for sharing

Maple Now (May 7, 2026) – MapleStory Movie & Summer Showcase Date Announced

This Maple Now was last week (the official server patch is tomorrow) but it’s small enough that I can just cover it very briefly. It was mostly covering the new events in this patch (very little actual content) but at the end, there were two special announcements!

Maple Now (April 9, 2026) – 3rd Common Core & Probability-Related Fixes

Okay I know I said I probably wouldn’t be doing Maple Now translations anymore but this one was relatively short and easier to write up (maybe because this April patch is quite small) so I just did it.

KMST ver. 1.2.195 – Winter Showcase Date and New Anime Collab: One Punch Man!

This week’s test server patch featured a surprise anime collab, One Punch Man! Since it’s an event, I’ll cover it in the live server post but just like the Demon Slayer collab, you can play as Saitama and get various One Punch Man themed items and outfits. Other than that, this patch just includes some

Confidence labels

Know what each status means

MPStorys uses these labels to keep verified announcements separate from test builds and editorial forecasts.

Confirmed

Published by an official MapleStory channel with a stated feature or release window.

KMST

Available on the Korean test server. Real test content, but still subject to revision.

Expected

A reasoned forecast based on test-server activity or established regional release patterns.

Speculation

Community discussion or editorial theory without enough evidence to support planning decisions.

Player checklist

Plan ahead without getting baited

Three quick checks keep previews useful and protect your mesos, materials, and upgrade plans.

  1. Step 1

    Check the label first

    Separate confirmed announcements from test content and predictions before sharing or acting on them.

  2. Step 2

    Verify your region and date

    KMS, GMS, MSEA, JMS, and TMS do not always receive identical content or timing.

  3. Step 3

    Wait before spending

    Do not buy gear, hoard a specific item, or commit upgrade materials until live-server details are official.
