MapleStory N Set to Launch on May 15 Excluding US Market

MapleStory's new crypto spinoff, MapleStory N, launches on May 15. Pre-download begins May 8 in select countries.

Key details:

  • MapleStory N is a 2D MMORPG and part of the MapleStory Universe (MSU).
  • The game features player-to-player item trading via an Avalanche L1 subnet.
  • Built-in anticheat and security through AvaCloud's infrastructure.
  • Prelaunch testing involved approximately 506,000 users and 972,000 wallets.
  • Not available in the US, most of Europe, Japan, and South Korea due to regulatory restrictions affecting over 50 countries.
  • Only accessible in Mexico and Canada among top ten gaming markets by revenue.
  • Players may attempt to bypass restrictions using VPNs, though some platforms block this method.

The game's limited availability could hinder its success in key markets, which are substantial for the gaming industry.
