MXM: Master X Master

NCSoft has posted a sad not for fans of Master X Master. MXM will be closing down on January 31, 2018. The reason cited is cold, but plain, "Deciding to close the game is not a decision we come to lightly, but ultimately it came down to a matter of business -- we explored several options, but none of them were sustainable."

MXM has been updated with a new Master and a new game mode called Natium Defense Line. The latter challenges coop teams to an "incredibly difficult challenge" to defend their base against increasingly large and more difficult waves of enemies. This is a cooperative and competitive activity that features ladderboards and special monthly rewards.

NCSoft is ready to kick off competitive play in MXM. Beginning today, the preseason for ranked play begins and will run for approximately four weeks. Competitive Season One will start on August 16th. During competitive play, nodes will be "twice as powerful and completely change the game's already strategic action".
