MapleStory 2 seems to be chugging along development nicely. Nexon has released a new cinematic trailer on the game’s official Korean website, featuring a battle between two of the game’s story characters, mushrooms, a mech, and dubstep. Wubwubwub.
The character designs are certainly very MapleStory-esque and the change from 2D to 3D is a mighty step up for the series. The sequel is reportedly going to be in isometric view, as opposed to the original’s 2D visuals or a more updated 3D engine.
The game’s official website has a few images to peruse by clicking the black squares at the bottom of the page. Highlighted are some new enemy faces to the series, including some seriously angry-looking sheep and a mushroom with a shield.
Nothing else about MapleStory 2 has been revealed just yet. The game’s South Korean release will be coming sometime in 2014, though an international release has yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for more news on MapleStory 2 into 2014!
