After its North American soft launch back in the fall, MapleStory Worlds has now soft launched in Europe and on mobile devices. This brings the latest expansion of the classic MapleStory IP to more markets (and your pocket). 

MapleStory Worlds is not just a game, it is also a platform where you can create your own worlds, avatars, and use more than 30,000 custom official MapleStory assets to design experiences that you can share with others.

On the release announcement on official Steam page, they describe it this way:“MapleStory Worlds is a dynamic platform where Players and Creators unite to explore custom-crafted Worlds and avatars”.

In essence, it's a sandbox where Nexon gives you the keys to the official stock of those 30k options, letting you create your own custom experiences using a suite of tools. Share your creations and even potentially earn rewards, including the potential to earn some money. Heavy on nostalgia for some, creativity for others, and even maybe an opportunity to recreate and relive some of your favorite MapleStory memories or make new ones.

They do provide basic creation guides on how to use the features of MapleStory World Maker. There is the nostalgia factor if you are a MapleStory fan, and a learning curve, Along with guides and support. Nexon also recruits and pays a stipend to community creators that work to create new content, so there's always something to do even if you are not actively building something yourself. Yet, some of the creators show you how it can be done if you want to get into making stuff. It could theoretically provide a jumping off point for people to learn how to code and design games on a micro level.

MapleStory Worlds will continue expanding to other regions this year.
