Classic World
Classic World is an upcoming title in the MapleStory franchise, originally announced in April 2025 by Hanbyeol Oh and releasing in 2026. Classic World is a faithful recreation of the old school MapleStory game, built by some of the early MapleStory team, including Lead Game Designer Miyoung Oh.
There have been two in-person playtests. The first playtest occurred on June 16 2025, where 30 players were invited out of over 18,000 who signed up, and the second playtest occurred in September. A closed online playtest is scheduled for early 2026 where all MapleCon attendees can participate. No exact release date has been announced.
The game features four classes, Swordsman, Magician, Rogue and Archer, adjusted quests and party quests, as well as improvements to original skills and attack behavior.
